King’s College is a co-educational boarding school that comprises King’s Prep for children from nursery to Year 8 and King’s College senior school from Year 9 to Sixth Form. The schools are set on separate sites in wonderful spacious settings within the large county town of Taunton, just two-hours from London and Heathrow Airport. Over half of our pupils are full boarders, and day pupils are able to board at weekends, creating a friendly home-from-home environment. High educational achievement is the principle aim of the schools.
