Description of King's College Taunton

The history of the King's College Taunton began as early as 1552 : Bishop Richard Fox of Winchester (who, incidentally, was an important and practically key figure in the famous Henry VII Secret Council) created a British school for boys named Bishop Fox Grammar School. The school in 1880 received the new name King's College Taunton, in 1968 began to accept girls, and today the institution has completely switched to mixed education - here boys and girls from all over the world aged from 13 to 18 can study.
The campus is located in the town of Taunton, with a population of almost 100,000. The city is in Somerset County (southwest England): the road to Heathrow International Airport takes about 3 hours.
