Students from Pre-Prep to Sixth Form have taken part in Harvest Festival celebrations in the Chapel this week, generously donating a huge collection of dry goods to our local food bank in support of the Trussell Trust. With even more donations still to come, we could not be prouder of the way our community has come together to support this wonderful cause. 👏

Our theme this year is ‘everyone deserves to eat’ and the assemblies focused on educating students on the fantastic work that is done by food banks across the UK as well as relevant hymns, songs, readings, and prayers.

Taunton Food Bank alone supported more than 3,000 families last year, while the Trussell Trust distributed more than 2.6 million food parcels across the UK in their bid to ‘end hunger together.’

Over the last seven weeks, 18 Taunton Prep School pupils have successfully completed a six person relay swim of the English Channel in the Red, Pink and Blue Team. This is a remarkable achievement and they follow in the wake of more than 100 Channel Titans before them who have completed the challenge over the last ten years. 🌊

Perhaps even more significant than the feat itself is that every year the swimmers involved range from impressive, determined athletes, already competing at a very high level, to those for whom a couple of lengths of the pool were a challenge when they started the programme.

Adding to this already exceptional achievement, this group of students has now raised more than £13,500 for Taunton charity Compass Wellbeing.

We could not be prouder of every Channel Titan who has completed this incredible challenge. Well done! 👏
