Why John Taylor Free School

We are non-selective, welcoming children of all faiths, social, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

We offer a broad, balanced, high quality curriculum, underpinned by exceptional support, care and guidance.

We work effectively alongside neighbouring schools.

We are a learning hub for the wider community, seeking to contribute to cohesion in an area of new housing development with limited alternative local amenities.

We equip our young people with the knowledge, experiences, skills and attributes to enable success beyond school.

As a partner school within JTMAT, the focus is on the achievement and progress of all students, the acquisition of key learning skills, and the development of leadership attributes and experiences – both within and beyond the taught curriculum.
