Huge congratulations to our year 12 students for representing John Taylor in the Lichfield School Speaking Competition. Our students put forward a compelling argument and proved that young people do indeed deserve a say in politics! @eldavisenglish @PlattsEnglish @johntaylorhigh

For those students wondering where their welcome packs are…

[The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award @DofE]

Did you know that you can access DofE Welcome Packs online? 🤔

Due to a change in supplier, young people who enrolled from mid-November may have to wait slightly longer for their physical Welcome Pack to arrive. In the meantime you can download the packs via our website and DofE discount cards can be requested through eDofE accounts.

Amazing trip! Amazing students!

After boasting about the views last night, we did have an almighty thunderstorm pass through camp. We’re all up and ready to go today - 🤞🏻 for a dry home run. #dofe

[Miss Platts @PlattsEnglish]

As long as the thunderstorms stay in the far distance, we’re in for some lovely views over the Dragon’s back hills. #dofe ⁦@DofE⁩
