Last Friday was not just the end of a chapter for our children, but also a truly extraordinary one for a beloved member of staff, Mrs Cooper.  It is a rare and special thing to find someone who has lived and breathed the very essence of a school – not just attending it as a pupil, but later returning as a parent, and then, most impactfully, shaping the lives of countless children as a teacher in our Pre-Prep for 20 years.

Throughout those years, Mrs Cooper has brought a calm, kind, and deeply nurturing approach to everything she does. In a world that often rushes by, she has been a steady presence – anchored in patience, empathy, and understanding. Mrs Cooper has always known that a Pre-Prep education is not just the start of school life, but the foundation of a child’s journey as a learner, a friend, and a person.

From all of us – thank you. For your decades of dedication, your kindness, your impact. Taunton School is better because of you. We will miss you!!
