John Taylor MAT
Welcome to the John Taylor MAT Supply Service – here you’ll find all you need to know about working with us.
Welcome
John Taylor MAT 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 over time and currently serve 13 infant/primary schools, as well as six secondary schools. Our passion for excellence is evident in our 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 proudly host The John Taylor Teaching School Hub and Staffordshire Research School at John Taylor High School. The team have a strong reputation for delivering the DfE’s “Golden Thread” of outstanding professional development and support for educators. As one of only four Research Schools in the region, they support teachers and leaders in making evidence-informed decisions to enhance teaching and learning.
“We are delighted to have partnered with The Supply Register to help with the temporary recruitment needs across John Taylor MAT and look forward to welcoming candidates who share our vision and values into the schools across our Trust.”
Mike Donoghue, CEO John Taylor MAT
About John Taylor MAT
We are proud to have a strong Free School programme; we opened John Taylor Free School in September 2018 and Fradley Park Primary & Nursery School in September 2022.
Branston Locks Primary & Nursery School will become our 3rd Free School in September 2024 and we have secured DfE approval to develop Staffordshire’s first all-through primary and secondary school on the site of the former Rugeley Power Station, scheduled for September 2025.
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 support those schools already in our family by working together and adding value.
“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. This is our mission. We provide experiences, resources, structures, and systems to enable all to engage, all to progress, all to achieve.
In all that we do, both individually and collectively, we endeavour to focus on six main attributes that will enable us to be successful. We want all of the children and young people in our schools to exhibit these qualities also. They are as follows:
- Learning is at the heart of all we do: Keeping “the main thing the main thing,” prioritising our people, time, energy and funding to the improvement of the educational experience.
- A passion for excellence: Only comparing ourselves with the best. When finding it, seeking to match and then surpass it.
- Restlessness & curiosity: Looking for opportunity to be involved and to learn from new experiences.
- Courage to innovate: Leading change – in teaching and learning, curriculum development, organisational structures.
- Collegiality: Listening to others, sharing with others, learning from others.
- Tenacity & Resilience: Holding to our mission in turbulent times and remaining resolute in all we set out to do.
