THE SENIOR DIFFERENCE
What makes King’s College so special?
King’s is an outstanding school with a rich history dating back to 1880.
This is a place to truly excel: Our Senior School is renowned for providing an outstanding education – through exceptional teaching, superb facilities and small class sizes. Not to mention personalised support and genuine pastoral care.
Perhaps that’s why our pupils regularly achieve some of the best exam results in Somerset.
Within a friendly and vibrant environment, we promote a lifelong love of learning and provide unrivalled opportunities for pupils. But what really sets us apart is nurturing well-rounded and grounded individuals with a true sense of purpose; reflecting our family-oriented culture as a Woodard School, and commitment to the local community.
“This school is flying, brimming with enthusiasm and passion for learning, smashing it on the sports field and bounding with extracurricular opportunities.”
Senior School Stories
Located in idyllic Somerset countryside (and yet still near Taunton town centre), our beautiful site with its lush green spaces is a wonderful place for any child to learn – and to play, because our co-curricular opportunities are limitless, too.
Our remarkable reputation for athletic achievement, particularly on the cricket pitch, is well-deserved. But it’s backed by our belief in the honest joys of participation in all sports.
Finally, our boarding provision is uniquely flexible – offering a home-from-home where friendships flourish.
So it’s little wonder that the vast majority of our Senior School pupils choose to progress onto our Sixth Form.
