ASIS View of King’s College Taunton

A top-class school achieving high academic results, strong sporting success – especially cricket and rugby amongst nine different sports – and wide cultural awareness through its Christian foundation, which is at the core of the school’s traditional values. Facilities are excellent and the spirit across the extensive campus is of personal growth and freedom within a gently-structured environment. The school has a mix of boarders and day pupils, but makes special effort to integrate both into one community by offering day-pupils ‘space’ in each of the school houses.
