About the Trust
We have a passion for excellence demonstrated by a broad curriculum and high-quality leadership. We work hard to create collaboration across the Trust, and the Central Team reside in one of our schools, to remain grounded in school life. We have a strong track record of governance and health and safety, and our schools and Trust enjoy a healthy and stable financial position; we look to the future with anticipation of further growth and to support those schools already in our family by working together and adding value.
The Trust was founded in 2014, in John Taylor High School – an outstanding secondary school in Barton-Under-Needwood, and the first in Staffordshire to convert to become an Academy. We have grown steadily and currently serve 13 infant/primary schools, and 6 secondary schools. The Staffordshire Research School and John Taylor Teaching School Hub are also key parts of our Trust, with a reputation for delivering outstanding professional development and support for teachers across a wide-ranging offer. The mission for the Trust is "We believe in the power of education to improve lives - and the world." We are driven to ensure our communities can realise their true potential through learning.
