Entry Requirements
Main entry points are at 7+ (Year 3) and 11+ (Year 7). Entry requires a formal taster day, during which age-appropriate cognitive and academic baseline tracking exercises (English and Mathematics) are assessed. This is combined with an informal interview and a mandatory positive reference from the student’s current school.
Key Dates for Admissions
Operates a rolling admissions process year-round based on physical seat availability. Major open mornings take place annually in October and May. Early registration is strongly recommended for families seeking boarding slots or Year 7 scholarship considerations.
Results

The large majority of pupils (~85–90%) make the natural internal transition up into Taunton Senior School at 13+ (Year 9). High-performing candidates routinely secure competitive internal academic, sports, music, art, and design scholarships.
