About us

At John Taylor Multi Academy Trust

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

This statement is at the heart of the John Taylor story. We are driven to ensure that our community can realise its true potential through learning. This is our mission. To that end, we provide the experiences, resources, structures and systems to enable all to engage, all to progress, all to achieve.

Through the opportunities that our Multi-Academy Trust offers, we extend our mission beyond the school in which it originated.

Our Vision – Through investment in people and our relentless commitment to quality, we aspire to be a centre of excellence, bringing credible research, collaboration and innovation together to transform the educational experience for our children and young people


Our aim

John Taylor Training from our staffrooms to yours! Supporting professionals at every stage of their career.

The John Taylor Teaching School Hub – proudly serving over 270 schools across six local districts in north Warwickshire and east Staffordshire.

Covering the districts of North Warwickshire, East Staffordshire, Cannock, Lichfield, Tamworth and Nuneaton and Bedworth, The John Taylor Teaching School Hub is based at John Taylor High School, an Outstanding comprehensive school near Burton on Trent.

As an outstanding school, John Taylor enjoys a high reputation locally and nationally, with an enviable academic record based on inspirational teaching and exceptional pastoral care.

As a SCITT, we pride ourselves on the fact that as a relatively small provider, we know all our trainees well and can offer highly personalised support enabling our trainees to secure excellent outcomes.

We are a fully comprehensive school and a partner school within the John Taylor Multi-Academy Trust.

We pride ourselves on having grown and embedded our own evidence-informed culture. We have worked hard to develop a strong and supportive reputation for working collaboratively with schools, MATs and organisations across the West and East Midlands, and for delivering a wide range of high-quality training to teachers and school leaders with one ultimate goal in mind – to improve outcomes for all students.
