Vision & Values

One community, striving for personal excellence.

In order to achieve our vision and reflect our core values, we will strive to:

  • Create an inclusive school culture where strong relationships are built on mutual respect, kindness and acceptance of others.
  • Encourage all to engage positively in the school and wider community, acting with integrity and taking responsibility for our choices and achievements.
  • Work together to secure success for all members of our community. Deliver effective, research-informed lessons that challenge and motivate students to work hard, persevere and achieve.
  • Offer highly valuable and memorable experiences within and beyond the classroom that enhance personal development and academic excellence.


Our Vision and Values

As I am sure you are aware, here at John Taylor we have a brand new vision this year for our school and our students. After much discussion with staff from all areas of the school, governors, parents and students themselves, we created the vision of “One community, striving for personal excellence”. We want all our students to value and contribute to both our school community and to the wider communities that we share and participate in. We also want our students to always try to be their very best in all that they do, both in and out of school.  We also chose the four key values of kindness, perseverance, integrity and respect as the values we would like all our students to show.
