About John Taylor Free School

As a partner school within John Taylor Multi-Academy Trust, we are driven by the vision of the Trust

"We believe in the power of education to improve lives – and the world."

This statement is at the heart of the John Taylor Free School story. It is a compelling story and one which JTMAT hope students will wish to experience. JTMAT is driven to ensure that its communities can realise their true potential through learning. To that end, we provide the experiences, resources, structures and systems to enable all to engage, all to progress, and all to achieve.

Our Mission Statement

John Taylor Free School will develop academic success, which enables students to continue their educational journey, in addition to those characteristics which enable them to thrive personally and in society – our students will “succeed and thrive”.
