We are a reasonably small school and know each child as an individual, placing emphasis on pastoral care as well as on academic achievement. This means that we can also offer your child a home-from-home environment in which to live, learn and grow.
We have a good number of children from service backgrounds. We understand the pressures of being part of a military family, and actively care and support each other. We strongly encourage all children and their parents to maintain regular contact via telephone, text, Skype and email. Houseparents and academic staff can also be contacted directly.
Enrichment Programme
We achieve strong GCSE and A-level results, with many pupils going on to Oxbridge and other Russell Group universities. We also have extensive experience in admitting leavers into universities overseas, often on scholarships.
We also offer an extensive range of co-curricular activities alongside a full schedule of weekend trips and social events. Full boarders make up over 60% of the school community, meaning that the school is never quiet at the weekend. Our outstanding CCF and leading outdoor pursuits department are strong features of King’s.
Life in Taunton
Our excellent catering team provide three first-rate cooked meals a day, as well as morning and afternoon tea. There is also a tuckshop available in each house.
We are located within easy walking distance of the centre of a large market town in Somerset, with excellent rail and motorway connections. Our campus offers superb boarding, academic, creative and sporting facilities. We also offer a transport service to and from Heathrow, Bristol and Exeter airports.
