From the Shuttleworth College
Everyone may live up to the college's motto, "Think Big, Chase Dreams, and Succeed Together," at Shuttleworth. Regardless of academic ability, we have high expectations for our students and work hard to prepare them for success in the future. With a no-excuses culture where everyone is expected to give their best effort every single day, staff, students, and families collaborate to make the most of the five years that young people spend at this school. Families, guests, and Ofsted all remark on the college's serene and focused atmosphere as well as how much pride our students take in their appearance. The school was referred to as a "haven" and our students as "confident, kind, and respectful" by Ofsted in June. We take satisfaction in managing a school that serves the entire Burnley community. Our young people pursue a wide range of opportunities, including training overseas, apprenticeships in local firms, and admission to Oxford or Cambridge. Our curriculum is created to challenge all students, regardless of ability, while also meeting their requirements. I genuinely think Shuttleworth is a great place to work and develop. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you'd like to learn more about us or take a campus visit.
