Campus Development News

We are proud to be investing in an world-class campus development project, commencing in February 2022.

The development will include a new state-of-the-art sixth-form centre and library for students, followed by proposals for enhanced sports facilities and a brand new international school built on the main campus. The project also includes the creation of a green and sustainable pedestrianised hub linking boarding houses, teaching and dining blocks.

Green Heart

Green Heart
The development of a ‘green heart’ has seen asphalt roads and paths between the Pre-Prep, Prep and Senior schools transformed into an eco-friendly pedestrianised area for students to enjoy their green surroundings.
It includes trees, plants, seating and sensory areas to promote student well-being and provide a place to take a break and socialise, offering students a chance to relax in an environmentally friendly haven.

Dining Hall

New Dining Hall
Dining Hall

Taunton School’s new state of the art dining hall was opened in December 2020 by HRH Princess Anne. It caters for 1600 covers and can seat up to 400 people at any one time.

Sustainable materials were used together with the latest technology in lighting, acoustic materials and audio visual equipment.

The building enjoys a view over a green central space, bringing all aspects of the school together, while maintaining and improving the integrity of the Grade II listed main school and incorporating the architecture into the design and build.
