Taunton School has unveiled plans to invest in a £20 million world-class campus development.
Work begins soon on a new state-of-the-art sixth form centre and library for the school which celebrates its 175th anniversary this year, followed by proposals for enhanced sports facilities and a brand new international school.
The project also includes the creation of a green and a sustainable pedestrianised hub linking boarding houses, teaching and dining blocks.
Proposals encompass moving Taunton’s international school from its current site to the main campus; as well as developing two new Astroturf pitches, benefitting both the school and local community.
“These exciting developments are a reflection of our success locally, and globally” said headmaster Lee Glaser.
“The project marks the start of a very exciting and important new chapter in Taunton School’s long history.”
These plans follow the completion of a new dining hall in 2020, officially opened by HRH Princess Anne a year ago.
Founded in 1847, the school’s 56-acre site is home to five separate schools: a nursery, a pre-preparatory school, a prep school, senior school and an international school.
