The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma:
The IB Diploma programme, which is proving increasingly popular with both universities and employers, provides Sixth Form students at Taunton School with an attractive alternative to taking A Levels.

This two-year course is a holistic programme with a particular emphasis on independent learning and a questioning approach to knowledge. The IB Diploma is popular with students who recognise the benefits of taking a broad range of subjects in the Sixth Form. It is a challenging course that is particularly suited to those who enjoy the freedom to think, without the restriction of modular exams. While the IB Diploma is ideal for the most able students, the courses are accessible to all students who are well motivated and willing to work hard and gain good study skills.

Boarding At Taunton School:

- At Taunton School, we aim to create an atmosphere in which pupils can develop their own unique collection of talents. We encourage all students to make the most of a wide range of opportunities that will allow them to move smoothly into the wider world – we hope that they will feel confident with their new found independence as they move towards higher education and the world of work.

- There is a great deal of scope for breadth and, although emphasis is focused on academic study, we ensure that individuals do not lose sight of aesthetic, sporting and social interests. The choice and range of extra-curricula opportunities - notably sporting and recreational pursuits - also rate highly with boarders. Where distance from home to school is a factor, time spent travelling will impact on the time that can be devoted to leisure pursuits. 

- By living at the school pupils have both the time and the facilities available to them for developing sporting skills and social contacts. Pupils benefit from the range of activities available to boarders and in many cases, can participate in a variety of cultural and leisure activities.

Rochester Independent College
Courses / Programs
Located in the County of Kent, just east of London, Rochester Independent College (RIC) is a progressive alternative to conventional secondary education with a happily distinctive ethos.

Accepting day students from the age of 11 and boarders from 16, the focus is on exam success in a lively, supportive and informal atmosphere. Students are encouraged to be themselves and achieve exam results that often exceed their expectations.

The College offers students the opportunity to thrive in an atmosphere of managed independence, and acts as a stepping stone between school and university.

Students who are 15 are considered if their 16th birthday falls within the first half term of the academic year. College accommodation is in either single or double rooms. All rooms have a direct telephone and internet connection.

RIC is accredited by the ISC (Independent Schools Council) and a member of the Independent Schools Association.

Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools, Berkshire
Courses / Programs
Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools are twin day and boarding schools that share the same estate at Marlston, Hermitage in the Berkshire countryside. Brockhurst teaches boys from six to thirteen years of age, while Marlston House teaches girls of the same age.

Boys and girls are taught together in our vibrant co-educational pre-prep school (ages 3-6). From Year 2 they are taught separately in small, single-sex classes. We believe this is the best system for developing their academic potential.

Boys and girls continue to mix for the many social and extracurricular activities we provide. At the age of thirteen, their classes are combined again in preparation for the Common Entrance exams.

At Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools, we aim to provide a first-class, unique education in a disciplined and happy, family environment. Both schools offer a broad curriculum, which includes art, drama, music, and an exciting variety of other activities. This breadth is reflected in the range of scholarships achieved.

Approximately 1.25 hours drive west of London, our schools are situated in a magnificent Jacobean style mansion set in 500 acres of stunning Berkshire countryside. Our mission is to develop enthusiastic, self-confident and well-mannered girls and boys with enquiring minds.
