Taunton School:
Taunton School is an independent boarding and day school for boys and girls aged 0 to 18 years. Located in the heart of Somerset in the south west of England, it is the quality of the human relationships that marks out Taunton School from other schools and is the reason why we are rapidly becoming acknowledged as one of the leading schools in the region. GCSE's, AS and A levels at Sixth Form are all offered in Senior School, as well as the increasingly popular International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme.
It is widely accepted that the role of games in schools is an important one. At Taunton School, our aim is not simply to pay lip service to that but to implement a range of games which enable boys and girls to gain the benefits from their participation. The major games are: Rugby; Hockey; Netball; Cricket; Tennis
There are teams in each of these games - often as many as ten per sport - and pupils are coached by knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff who willingly give of their time to take practices and matches. The School is very fortunate with the quality of its coaching staff and a number of the major games involve staff who have played or coached at national level.
