OVERVIEW

‘We believe in the power of education to improve lives – and the world’

John Taylor High School is at the centre of John Taylor MAT, and as a National Teaching School Hub and Research School, this provides access to a wide range of opportunities which keep us at the forefront of innovation and most recent developments in teaching and learning. This enables the continual development of classroom practice, to ensure our students have the best possible learning experience.

The school is situated in the picturesque village of Barton-Under-Needwood, with good transport links via easy access to the A38. The school is a large, popular and oversubscribed Academy with a fully comprehensive, mixed, 11-18 intake. There are over 1500 students on roll, included a healthy sixth form of over 300. This enables us to offer a competitive range of both academic and vocational subjects at Level 3. Our outcomes consistently place us as one of the top performing comprehensive schools in Staffordshire.

We have exceptionally high standards in all respects. We strive to develop our students to be the best that they can be, in all they do. We insist on considerate behaviour which creates a safe and highly effective learning environment for all of the school community. We want our students to participate and seize every opportunity that the school has to offer.

Our Vision and Values:

One community, striving for personal excellence.

We are extremely proud of this whole school vision which is at the heart of John Taylor High School. It highlights the great importance of having a strong, inclusive, diverse community which works effectively together, so that everyone is able to achieve their personal excellence.

The whole school vision is underpinned by the four core values chosen by our school community:

Respect: to be thoughtful of the feelings, wishes, or rights of others. It also means looking after our environment.

Kindness: to treat everyone the best that you can. No matter who they are or how you feel about them you treat them with fairness and respect.

Integrity: a person's commitment to honesty and a willingness to do what’s right.

Perseverance: is not giving up. It is persistence and tenacity, the effort required to do something and keep doing it until the end, even if it’s hard.
