Leave a Gift in Your Will

Since the school was founded, legacy gifts have played a vital role in transforming the lives of so many pupils, including some of our most illustrious and successful alumni.

Over the past 20 years, our community has given over £4 million to support the school, helping to improve our campus and give so many more pupils the opportunity to access a Taunton School education.

Legacy donations have supported projects such as the redevelopment of the Theatre, the replacement of the Chapel organ and the creation of new sports facilities. They have also enabled nearly one hundred pupils to join the school through our means‑tested Assisted Places programme.

Leaving a gift in your will is one of the most meaningful ways you can support the School. We are enormously grateful to everyone who chooses to make such a special commitment.

We understand that including the school in your will is a personal decision, and we will always respect your wishes. If you would like to discuss legacy giving or join our Legacy Society, please contact the Foundation and Alumni Team on +44 (0)1823 703159 or email foundation@tauntonschool.co.uk.
