John Taylor High School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for John Taylor High School?
The catchment area for John Taylor High School is the geographic zone Staffordshire uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, after looked-after children and siblings. Staffordshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
