Welcome to JTHS Community

Welcome to John Taylor High School Community 

We are extremely excited to be welcoming our new Year 7 cohort to our school community. It has been a pleasure to meet so many of you face to face over the last half term, whether that be us visiting you at primary school or you visiting us on your induction day, students, and parents alike! We are so proud of the resilience the Year 6 into 7 students are already showing at the start of their John Taylor High School journey, in what has been a different transition period.  

This Transition Newsletter has been created for the Year 6 into 7 students and their parents/carers to help support in preparation for September and key information to ensure those first days go as smoothly as possible.  

We are 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 underpinned by the four core values chosen by our school community.  

Respect – to be thoughtful of the feelings, wishes, or rights of others. It also means looking after our environment. 

Kindness – 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. 

Integrity – a person's commitment to honesty and a willingness to do what is right. 

Perseverance – 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 is hard. 

So welcome to our school and community, we are looking forward to working with you to ensure each of our students achieves their own personal excellence. #weareJT
