School History:
Richard Huish College was originally formed in the 18th century. It was named after benefactor Richard Huish, a Taunton wool merchant who made his fortune in London. His will, when he died in 1615, provided the main part of the endowment for an educational foundation to be established which eventually grew into Huish’s Grammar School for Boys. This foundation also established Bishop Fox’s School for Girls, in Taunton.
The old Grammar School was erected in 1892 at the back of Grays Alms House, East Street, which is now Sainsburys car park. It was demolished in 1972. The new school was built at South Road, where it is today. The Headmaster in 1900 was R. Humphrey.

Notes/School Information:
Both the college and baording facilities are rated Oustnading by Ofsted
In 2024 our boarding facility, Oak House was rated 'Outstanding' in a social care inspection by Ofsted.
"The happy and welcoming atmosphere created by staff radiates throughout the boarding provision. Students very much like staying here and have formed long-standing positive relationships with each other. Students respect and care for one another, valuing each other's differences and positively celebrating diversity. Students said that staying in the boarding house is like being part of one big family".
"Students particularly like that staff treat them with respect and as young adults rather than children. They also appreciate that staff are open to their views and ideas for further development of the college".
