Taunton School provides a curriculum that allows students to take (I)GCSE qualifications from more than 25 subjects, across three different pathways. This ensures every individual student has a curriculum that is suited to them and on which they can thrive. Taunton School International students have the option to study (I)GCSEs over one or two years, with a Pre-GCSE programme also being available.
Many students will now head to Taunton School Sixth Form to study A-Levels, BTEC, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme or the International Foundation Year.
Taunton School offers a variety of scholarships and assisted places each year for Year 9 entry, allowing students who would ordinarily not have access to an independent school education to study their GCSEs at the prestigious day and boarding school. Visit https://www.tauntonschool.co.
