我們所做的一切都是為了教學和學習，讓男孩有機會測試自己，從多個角度看待挑戰和解決方案，並體驗成功的喜悅。
我們提供更廣義的教育。我們不僅讓男孩們接受高等教育，而且透過培養良好的工作技能和積極的態度，讓他們過著成功而有意義的生活。
Merchant Taylors 的課程是根據個人需求量身定制的。它不僅包括直接有助於男孩學習和考試成功的一切，還包括促進男孩道德、身體、社會和精神發展以及智力發展的所有體育、活動和創意企業。男孩們非常重視我們對他們從入學之日起在學校生活的每個階段所取得的更廣泛的體育、文化和社區支持成就的認可。這與學校 450 多年來對全面成就的重視是一致的。
男孩需要對他們的書面作業進行迅速、積極、個人的回饋，為他們設定明確的改進目標。標記的作品會及時、定期地歸還。持續完成作業對於成功至關重要。它培養獨立學習、自律和智力自給自足的習慣。進展情況受到仔細監控。成績每半學期回家一次。每年向家長提交兩份書面報告，其中至少有一份由校長針對每位學生撰寫的完整個人報告。每個年級都會舉辦家長晚會。
泰勒的孩子們「努力工作，盡情玩耍」。
我們設定了較高的學術標準，並期望男孩在課堂上和在家工作時都能發揮出最好的水準。然而，我們堅信角色塑造運動和慈善承諾的價值，以及可以為男孩帶來熱情和愛好的活動，作為他們工作與生活平衡的一部分。
泰勒學院的孩子們參與運動（校外和校內）、音樂、戲劇、出國旅行、CCF、愛丁堡公爵獎以及各種慈善活動。他們經常在課程結束後長時間留在學校：為橄欖球比賽訓練、為音樂會排練、參加演講或為計畫做最後的潤飾。
我們相信，這會造就更全面的性格，讓男孩從入學之日起就充滿自信。我們的目標是讓男孩接受完整的教育；這意味著每天為他們提供機會，讓他們先發現自己的真正優勢所在，然後充分發展這些才能。他們以男孩的身份進入學校，離開學校時已成為平衡、自信的年輕人。
Everything we do is about teaching and learning, giving boys opportunities to test themselves, to see challenges and solutions from a range of perspectives, and know the exhilaration of success.
We offer an education, in the broader sense. We equip boys not merely for entry to higher education but for a successful and rewarding life, by breeding good work skills and positive attitudes.
Merchant Taylors’ curriculum is tailored to individual needs. It embraces not only everything that contributes directly to the boys’ learning and examination success, but also all the sports, activities and creative enterprises that promote the moral, physical, social and spiritual development of the boys, as well as their intellectual development. Boys value tremendously the importance we place on according recognition to their wider sporting, cultural and community support achievements at every stage of school life from the day they join the school. This is in line with the importance attached to all-round achievement, which has served the school well for over 450 years.
Boys need swift, positive, personal feedback on their written work that sets them clear targets for improvement. Marked work is returned promptly and regularly. The consistent completion of homework is vital to success. It cultivates habits of independent study, self-discipline and intellectual self-sufficiency. Progress is carefully monitored. Grades go home every half term. There are two written reports to parents each year, including at least one full individual report on each pupil written by the Head Master. Parents evenings conferences are held for every year group.
Taylors’ boys ‘work hard and play hard’.
We set high, scholarly, academic standards and expect that boys will give their absolute best in the classroom, and when working at home. However, we are strong believers in the value of character-building sporting and charitable commitments, and activities that can give boys passions and hobbies as part of their work-life balance.
Taylors’ boys get involved in sport (both extramural and intramural), music, drama, trips abroad, CCF, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and a huge range of charitable activity. They frequently stay at school long after classes are over: training for a touch rugby match, rehearsing for a concert, attending a talk or putting the finishing touches to a project.
We believe this results in a far more rounded character and allows boys to grow in confidence from the day they join the school. Our aim is to give boys a complete education; this means furnishing them with opportunities on a daily basis so that they might first discover where their strengths truly lie, and then developing these talents fully. They join the school as boys and leave as balanced, confident young men.
