Primary Phase

Rugeley John Taylor School will include a two-form entry comprehensive primary phase which is dedicated to providing excellence in education for children in Rugeley and the surrounding villages.

Our initial cohort will be restricted to 30 pupils in Reception. In future years, expected by 2030, this will increase to 60 students.

Our primary phase will equip your child with an excellent education, important life skills, friendships and starts an educational journey which allows our children to progress through our primary phase and seamlessly into our secondary phase, providing an all-through education of the highest calibre.

In addition, our flexible wrap-around provision will ensure that working families can access care from 7:30am to 6:00pm, giving you the peace of mind that your child is in a safe, caring, and enriching environment throughout the day.

We look forward to meeting you and your children at the most important stage of their educational journey.

Come and join us at Rugeley John Taylor School, opening in September 2026
