JSTC is a non-selective 11-16 co-educational school in a selective area. We are a popular, over-subscribed school of around 630 students. Despite being a secondary modern school, we have the full ability range including gifted and talented students.
We are proud of the work that we do with our young people to enable them to challenge themselves academically and reach the highest of aspirations. At our most recent Ofsted inspection we were rated as Good in all areas. We are very proud our achievements; we will continue to develop and provide the best possible education for our young people.
We are a single academy trust but have developed strong networks and links with a range of partners and other schools locally and throughout the county. The school site has been enhanced in recent years to include two new classroom builds, a re-furbished English teaching block, a remodelled, modern canteen, and refurbishment of the original, attractive 1930s building.
Car park facilities on site are free. The school has its own all-weather pitch and gym faciliites which are all available for staff use.
