TAUNTON School has been named the best secondary school in Europe at the 2024 StudyTravel Secondary School Awards.

Taking place on Friday, April 19, 2024, the StudyTravel Secondary School Awards ceremony saw Taunton School and its international counterpart, Taunton School International, pick up the award for Best Secondary School in Europe.

Voted solely by agents around the world and with the competition including St Clare’s in Oxford, ACS Cobham, and Saint-Denis International School in France, this is a highly respected and prestigious award.

Adrian Hallworth, Taunton School International Principal, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have received the StudyTravel award for Best Secondary School in Europe 2024.

“The fact that this is voted for by educational agents who visit countless schools around the world makes it even more special.

“We are extremely proud of the education and experience we offer at Taunton School and we couldn’t be happier that our hard work has been recognised in this way.”

StudyTravel is a global organisation with more than 30 years of experience connecting agents and educators worldwide.

The Secondary School Awards run every year and aim to celebrate outstanding secondary education providers and agents.

Taunton School and Taunton School International have been welcoming students for more than 175 years and have built an excellent reputation with education agents such as StudyTravel and students from the UK and a range of other countries.

Taunton School is one of the South West’s leading co-educational independent day and boarding schools for children aged 0-18 years.

Founded in 1847, the school’s 56-acre site is home to five separate schools: a nursery, a pre-preparatory school, a prep school, a senior school, and an international school.

Taunton School has welcomed students from the UK for more than 175 years and students from across the globe for more than a century.

In 1996, Taunton School opened its flagship International School situated on the main Taunton campus, offering the very popular one-year GCSE programme, which is still a highly sought-after course today.

Taunton School International is very closely linked with Taunton School, with its students regularly mingling and working together in a range of subjects and events such as drama performances, music recitals, and sports competitions.

Depending on age and level of English, international students may enter Taunton Pre-Prep, Prep, Senior, or International Schools.

Many Taunton School International students transition over to Taunton School when they are ready.
