Founded in 1843 as the West of England Wesleyan Proprietary Grammar School, Queen’s College adopted its current name in 1887 to honour the Queen’s Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. Originally located in Castle House within Taunton Castle Grounds, the school moved to its current location in Trull Road in 1846 and remains the oldest school in Taunton.
Queen’s College is a centre of excellence for both academic achievement and creativity, providing a bespoke, individualised education that meets the unique needs of each pupil, whether those needs are academic or pastoral.

We are proud to offer a strong curriculum for all ages, in addition to offering 100+ Co-Curricular options in hand with our school motto “We learn not for school, but for life”.
