Parents often want to know what their children are studying across the year. Staff are happy to help with specific queries, but if parents would like to know about the curriculum we offer, we have a dedicated page on our school website. This can be found in the Learning Tab of the website or by clicking on the following link:
Curriculum - John Taylor High School (jths.co.uk)
Here you can find a summary of the subjects that the students follow in each year group. Furthermore, there is information about what content is delivered in each subject across the year for each year group in which the subject is delivered. We call this our Curriculum Map.
If you would like to know more about what the school is teaching your child, please do visit this webpage in the first instance. We hope that you find this information useful.

If a student forgets or loses their bus pass, the school will issue a temporary pass that has a date stamp on it. This will be issued through the respective school offices. Replacement Local Authority provided bus passes must be applied for by parents using the following link:
- Staffordshire: Replacement school bus passes - Staffordshire County Council
- Derbyshire: School transport - Derbyshire County Council
Students who normally pay for their school transport, for example if they travel on a Diamond Bus service, will have to purchase a replacement bus pass on their next journey to school.
Many thanks for your support with this.

It has been great to have received so much excitement about the Year 7 residential. A large number of deposits have been received. I am currently in conversation with The Outward Bound Trust to see if we can increase capacity. If not, a random ballot will need to be conducted.
I do hope to be able to communicate next steps by this time next week.
Many thanks,

Health Education England has recently completed a discovery report on virtual work experience programmes, which have concluded that these programmes are a valuable adjunct to in-person work experience, especially by preparing students for in-person placements and where in-person experiences are extremely limited. The NHS Allied Healthcare Work Experience successfully invited 12,000 students to participate in the last academic year, making it the largest programme for students who are specifically interested in the following careers:
Nursing
Midwifery
Paramedicine
Physiotherapy
Occupational Therapy
Dietetics
Radiography
Prosthetics and Orthotics
Speech and language therapy
and Pharmacy!
Applications for this programme are now open, and they will be open throughout this academic year, with the next virtual work experience day taking place on the 5th November. Please forward these details to your interested students so they can participate in the monthly virtual work experience days. It is suitable for students in year groups 10-13.
During the work experience day, students will follow 2 patients from their initial presentation to recovery. Students will observe the healthcare professionals as they interact with the patients and each other. Students will have an opportunity to ask questions and gain knowledge through teaching.
This will help students to make an informed career decision as well as learn about how healthcare professionals work together as part of a multidisciplinary team. Each work experience day is completely different, and students will be able to build on their knowledge of NHS careers as they see different patient cases and healthcare professionals work in a variety of settings, such as hospital and community.
Students will also receive certificates as evidence of having participated in the work experience programme. Those that complete the entire 6-month programme will be awarded with Highly Commended References too. Students can register individually through the website link below. Places are £10 a day to cover administrative costs and run the tech on the day. Schools can also register groups online. We have also provided a poster attached to this email.
You can learn more and your students can register for the programme here: https://alliedhealthmentor.org/nhs-healthcare-careers-virtual-work-experience/.
