At Shuttleworth College, we know that high-quality homework can enhance the progress that students make.

Research shows that setting pupils high-quality homework has an average impact of five months’ additional progress in a year in secondary schools. Homework is used to extend, consolidate, and enrich learning, whilst allowing students to investigate new things.

Teachers set homework on the Shuttleworth College app, a guide for parents is available here.

We will send a text home if homework is not completed/handed in to ask for parent/carer support.  If homework is still not completed, it will be logged and after 3 occasions a student will receive an after-school detention.

Please let us know if your contact details have changed to ensure that you receive homework summaries by emailing admin@shuttleworth.lancs.sch.uk , or you can amend them yourself within the app.

For help with any technical problems (e.g. resetting passwords), please email ICT support via ictsupport@shuttleworth.lancs.sch.uk

If you have any queries about homework at Shuttleworth College, please email Ms. Lightfoot:

Shuttleworth also provides students with a wealth of resources to help them with their homework. Students are welcome to use our library, well stocked with books and computers before school, during break, lunch, & after-school to complete homework. If they need additional help or support logging in or printing off resources, they can speak to their class teacher or Head of Year.

Microsoft Teams is easy to use and useful for knowing what homework is due; it also shows my timetable. I can download the free app and I can get notifications when my homework is due. It is easy to access the homework and teachers can attach sheets too.
