What it’s like

Founded in 1843, as a Methodist foundation. Its premises are on a single, semi-rural campus in 30 acres

on the southern outskirts of Taunton. Very pleasant buildings and fine playing fields. It is now fully

co-educational, having first admitted girls in the seventies. The pre-prep and nursery are combined. There has been much development in the last 30 years, including a fine concert/assembly hall, music school, science labs and a performing arts centre. Facilities are good and the school is well positio ned for field work and expeditions to Exmoor, Dartmoor and the Quantocks. Examination results are very good.

An exceptio nally strong music department; innovative drama and art. There is a good range of games

and sports, with a special emphasis on outdoor pursuits. Many activities and a distinguished record in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme. The school enjoys vigorous local support.
