Merchant Taylors' School

Merchant Taylors' is an independent day school of more than 900 students. Taylors' is well-known for the high academic and sporting standards our boys achieve, but also for its warm, friendly atmosphere and our boys' support for each other and commitment to their community. At MTS we believe in the virtues of an all-round education that emphasises a rich sporting and cultural programme. MTS has always valued itself as an unpressured school where boys are free to grow and discover their own character through diverse sources of personal fulfilment. The Good School Guide notes: "The school's philosophy... is about achievement without pressure: it's a place to breathe and experience a childhood." The boys' academic success is a by-product of this search for personal fulfilment. In the 2007 league tables MTS was 3rd best boys' independent day school in the UK, which reflects the incredible hard work and enthusiasm shown by all our boys and teachers.
