Over the summer our Taunton Prep School pupils courageously completed their English Channel swim!

In the early hours of the morning of 13th August, nine brave pupils and four staff from Taunton Prep School completed a relay swim across the English Channel – one of the world’s most testing swimming challenges.

The children braved the seas to raise funds for Scotty’s Little Soldiers, a charity supporting bereaved military children.

After two years of training, the teams – Red and Pink – powered through 21 miles of open water, finishing in 15h 28m and 14h 43m respectively. So far, they’ve raised nearly £8,000, adding to the school’s incredible £75,000+ total from previous swims!

From jellyfish to dolphins, these young swimmers have shown true grit, teamwork, and courage. Huge congratulations to the Channel Titans V!
