Our School was named after John William Fletcher, the Vicar of Madeley, who was one of the founders of the Methodist Societies which later became known as the Methodist Church. John Fletcher was a humble man of great faith. He chose to fulfil his mission within Madeley, knowing he would have a difficult challenge. Everything he did, he worked with his whole heart.
