The School was founded in 1847. Due to its non-conformist foundation, the School has always been able to boast an inclusive, broad-minded and welcoming character.It moved to its present site in 1870. The original house, Fairwater, dating from the 18th century, is now a boys' boarding house.As one of the first independent schools to have accepted both boys and girls (in 1973) we can lay claim to being genuinely co-educational. Approximately 50% of our pupils are girls.StructureThe School has five parts to it:• The Senior School (13 - 18 years) which has 600pupils of whom 240 are in the Sixth Form.• The Preparatory School (7 - 13 years) with 270 pupils.• The Pre-Prep and Nursery with about 140 children ( - 7 years).• Taunton School International Middle School,established in 2012, this school takes secondlanguage pupils of ages up to 13 and prepares themfor entry to the Prep and Senior Schools• Taunton School International with 80 students on aone year GCSE programmeAll parts of the School share a common purpose as well as the school facilities.
