Introductory Course - Boarding & Pastoral

Students on the Introduction to British Boarding School course will live as boarders in the pleasant boarding houses of Taunton School International Middle School on its beautiful rural campus.  Pupils share comfortable twin bedrooms, many with ensuite bathrooms.  They are cared for by experienced house staff 24 hours a day and given opportunities to participate and appreciate the life of a typical boarder.

Food

The school provides three hot meals a day for students.  Breakfast and supper are served in 'The Orangery', Taunton School International Middle School's traditional dining area and lunch is served in the Taunton School Dining Hall alongside Taunton School and Taunton School Preparatory students.  The food is offered as a buffet selection and includes fresh vegetables, fruit and desserts. There is plenty of choice so all diets are catered for.

There is a Health Centre on Taunton School’s campus which provides 24 hour medical care. All Taunton School International students are able to see a doctor or a nurse if they are feeling unwell. All of the staff at Taunton School International are also first aid trained.

Keeping in touch with home is important for pupils and families and staff ensure that appropriate contact is maintained via telephone and email access, using the excellent IT facilities of Taunton School.

Students are given email and internet access and emergency contact details are issued to both students and parents.
