There was a near miss on the zebra crossing on Main Street outside Thomas Russel Infants School on Tuesday afternoon. A driver, apparently frustrated at being stuck in traffic leaving the village, drove aggressively onto the crossing whilst there were still parents and children from TRIS walking across it.
TRIS have reported this incident.
There is a crossing patrol vacancy that the County Council have been actively advertising. This is something that JTHS has promoted before. We have been asked again to promote this vacancy with our parents to see if this could be shared with family and friends to see if there would be an interest in filling this crossing patrol vacancy.
The link to the crossing vacancies is here (this link includes the vacancy at the JTHS crossing point) Crossing Patrol (Burton, Uttoxeter and Tamworth) (dwp.gov.uk)
As we begin to see the weather turning colder, please can we ask you to ensure students are dressed appropriately for the weather and you are aware and support the following points from the Uniform Policy and Guidance:
- Students are encouraged to wear a coat during the cold weather - the school jacket/blazer must be worn underneath coats when in school and coats should not act as a replacement to the school jacket/blazer.
- As the evenings become darker much sooner please consider how visible coats are when students are walking home/alighting buses.
- Students are welcome to wear smart boots rather than shoes during Autumn 2 and Spring 1 half terms (Oct-Feb) but these must be worn under school trousers and not with the school skirt.
- Jumpers worn under the school jacket/blazer should be knitted, V neck grey. Any other style of jumper is not permitted.
We are extremely proud of our school uniform and the sense of belonging it gives to our student community. Thank you for your ongoing support.
The JTHS Uniform Policy and Procedure is available on the school website:
The 16–19 Discretinary Bursary Fund is a government-provided, means-tested fund available to support students who have difficulty in meeting costs relating to their studies. To qualify, you must be under 19 years of age on 31st August in the academic year in which you start your programme of study, and you will be expected to provide evidence of personal and/or financial hardship. Each case will be assessed individually, however, usually this would be based on a household income of £27,000 or less, plus any benefits you are in receipt of at this point in time.
For further information, please see the guidance and application form using the following link John Taylor High School (jths.co.uk).

Thank you
