Welcome toJohn Taylor High School
Dear Parents and carers,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to John Taylor High School. We are extremely proud of our whole school vision, which is ‘One Community, Striving for Personal Excellence’. This is at the heart of John Taylor and 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 based on equality and underpinned by the four core values chosen by our school community.

To be thoughtful of the feelings, wishes, or rights of others. It also means looking after our environment.
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.
A person's commitment to honesty and a willingness to do what's right.
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.
Providing our pupils with a rich and engaging educational experience

The school’s efforts to enhance pupils’ character and personal development are excellent.
The school is an inclusive community where pupils are nurtured and cared for.
‘Turn up, work hard, be nice’ is the motto that underpins everything that happens at this school.
There are so many additional opportunities at JTHS. I have been on trips, played sport, performed in the school concert and joined lunchtime clubs. There's something here for everyone. Making new friends has been one of the best parts of my high school experience, helping me become more confident and better at communicating with others. Our teachers make us feel valued and appreciated through special events like Hot Chocolate with the Head and Celebration Assemblies, where our achievements are recognised.
It is a really exciting time for me as I have just selected my GCSE options for next year. The subjects on offer at our school are great and it’s been good to know my teachers have helped guide me to make good subject choices. They can see what I am good at and where my passions lie. Our lessons are enjoyable and our teachers make it a nice atmosphere to learn in.
Being a student at JTHS fills me with an incredible sense of pride. The strong community atmosphere that surrounds our school makes it an enjoyable place to be. The teachers help us to reach our highest potential and provide the support and guidance we need to succeed. Throughout my time here, I've always felt comfortable approaching my teachers with questions or concerns because they are not only knowledgeable but also really friendly.
