The Foundation Office is committed to growing our Assisted Places provision to enable more children, regardless of their economic background, to have the opportunity to benefit from a Taunton School education.
Donations towards Assisted Places can offer means-tested support to exceptional students looking to apply to our sixth form or contribute to our Assisted Places Endowment Fund, a provision that exists to provide means-tested support to pupils in perpetuity.
Assisted Places are important to the whole school community. They positively impact every pupil at the school by bringing in new ideas, ensuring the school remains a diverse environment and preparing students for life in a global workplace.
Students with an Assisted Place recognise the impact and opportunity they have been given. They are ambitious and they work hard. They understand that their education is a privilege. In almost every case, those with an Assisted Place in our Sixth Form become Heads of School, leaders, captains and mentors, encouraging others to do their best and becoming ambassadors for the school for life.
