King's Schools Taunton 2020 Vision
King's College
he Development Office has been busy
compiling a new document outlining our
vision for the next eight years in advance of
the start of a major fund-raising campaign
next year.
At King's College we have identified three
main projects which will need support.
Firstly, a new sports centre, to go between
the existing sports hall and swimming pool,
which will pull those two facilities together
and provide changing rooms, office space, a
dance studio, fitness suite and a social area
overlooking the hockey pitches.
Secondly, we want to build a new girls'
boarding house to replace the existing
Taylor House accommodation. We would
then have three equally sized girls' houses. his would reflect our growing popularity as a destination for girl boarders and
the space freed up would be put to good use as well.
hirdly, we wish to extend our existing theatre and music school facilities to provide a state-of-the-art performing arts
centre.
he three projects each have their own focus and reflect areas of real strength at King's: sport, boarding and performing
arts. hey will have a transformative effect on the school and its pupils and they follow on naturally from the phenomenally
successful new Philip Richards Building, which has made such a positive difference to the academic life of the school.
King's has benefited greatly from the generosity of alumni and parents in the past. Many of our important developments,
such as the library, have been made possible by donations and we need that support to continue if we are to keep ourselves
in the forefront of educational provision in the coming years.
King's Hall School
We have selected three projects that will have a transformative effect on the school. he first is to construct a building that
will house new Science, Art and Technology
facilities as well as new classrooms.
his will release space to be refurbished as
music facilities.
he third project is to create a new entrance
to the Pre-Prep and resurface the hard area.
King's Hall has a wonderful feel to it - it is the
strength of the relationships, the qualities
and the values of the people who are here
that make it a special place for children to
grow but this 2020 Vision demonstrates our
clear intent to provide first-class facilities for
the future.
