At Shuttleworth College we are committed to providing equal opportunities for all students regardless of background or circumstance.

Pupil Premium funding allows us to ensure all disadvantaged students can access and receive support, intervention and resources to enable them to have the same opportunities and outcomes and make the same progress as their peers.

Guided by our school values and ethos, Shuttleworth College’s main aim is to close the gap between disadvantaged students and their peers in all areas with particular focus on:

  • Attendance
  • Behaviour
  • Progress in English and Maths
  • Literacy skills

We hope to achieve this through ensuring that the planning and delivery of all lessons meet the needs and accelerate the progress of all pupils. Alongside this, timely and appropriate interventions are put in place, within and beyond the classroom, to ensure the achievement gap is narrowed rapidly and behaviour and wider issues are addressed.
