King's Hall School is a co-educational prep school that provides day and boarding facilities. The school is located within the parish of Cheddon Fitzpaine, just north of Taunton, Somerset, in the West of England. It is housed in the Grade II* listed building Pyrland Hall.

History

King’s Hall School was originally the boys Junior House of King's College, Taunton, and remains a partner school. Both are Woodard Schools which means they are part of a group of Anglican schools (both primary and secondary) affiliated to the Woodard Corporation (formerly the Society of St Nicolas) which has its origin in the work of Nathaniel Woodard, an Anglo-Catholic clergyman.^[1] Since it was established in 1953, the school has been housed in Pyrland Hall.^[2]

Pyrland Hall School, as it was previously known, amalgamated with a girl's preparatory school, known as King's House to form King's Hall School in 1987.^[3]

In 2010, Magnus Mowat, the chair of the school's governors was given the award Independent School Governor of the Year.^[4] The school's catering facilities were Gold Award Winners in the Taste of the West Awards in 2010/11.^[5]
