Welcome to the Junior Boys' School
Latest News
We are looking forward to the start of yet another school year...and a brand new Head Teacher, following Brian Bennett's retirement at the end of last term. Mrs Janet Thomas will be in charge of the Junior School from the start of the Autumn term. Mrs Thomas was Deputy Head Teacher at Runnymede, West Derby, and she is really looking forward to joining the school (well that's what she said when I spoke to her during Summer School - PW).
We are very much looking forward to working with Mrs Thomas and look forward to the many exciting changes that will no doubt occur over the coming months and years. We welcome Mrs Thomas to the Merchants' family and hope that she enjoys her time with us.
Merchant Taylors' Junior School is a happy, friendly academic environment where each pupil is encouraged to recognise and achieve his potential both individually and as part of a team.
In the Junior School, boys follow the National Curriculum for Key Stage 2. Great attention is paid to ensuring proficiency in the basic subjects and skills, without which progress at a later stage is jeopardised. We also place great emphasis on developing a positive approach to work, combined with a habit of independent study and, an appropriate amount of homework is set from the start. In many subjects, boys will be stretched beyond the limits of the National Curriculum and they will also be exposed to a wide range of sports and other extra-curricular activities. All boys have the opportunity of learning an orchestral instrument and taking part in dramatic and musical productions.
There is a full range of sporting fixtures against other schools and the Junior School has an outstanding record of success both regionally and nationally. In addition, there are field trips and educational holidays, both at home and abroad.
