Hello, I’m Natasha Etherington and I’m Head of Year 7 at Shuttleworth which is a role I’m immensely proud of. I feel privileged to work in a role where I’ll be able to use my knowledge and experience to help my year group develop to the best of their ability, ensuring that they are safe and happy whilst at Shuttleworth. My role is challenging but seeing our young people get the best out of school life is so rewarding.

I have already established some fantastic relationships with families and the young people I’ll be mentoring over the next five years, and I am looking forward to seeing what these young people will go on to achieve whilst they are here.

Hello, I’m Miss Jackson. Over the last year I have developed excellent relationships with students and families and pride myself on going the extra mile to ensure all of the students in my year group thrive and are happy during their time in school. Helping students to overcome challenges to be the best they can be is the most rewarding part of my role and something I take great pride in.

I’m excited to progress with my year group through their time at Shuttleworth and support them through to Year 11; helping them to become the best versions of themselves and ready to leave us equipped with the skills, qualifications and self-confidence they need to achieve amazing things.

Hello, my name is Joanne Grice. Having been a Head of Year at Shuttleworth for 15 years, I have worked with many students, helping them to grow and progress and removing barriers to learning. I have paved the way for many to become successful young people and good role models within Padiham, Burnley, and our local community.

My role within school is a challenging one where two days are rarely the same. I learn new things every day as our students introduce ever-evolving issues. One issue is for certain, Shuttleworth is the best it has ever been; we have a multi-cultural, diverse population of students and a positive school climate where individuals feel valued, listened to, cared for, and respected. This atmosphere contributes to effective learning and genuine development both inside and outside of school.

Shuttleworth students have everything at their disposal to ensure they leave in Year 11 armed with great examination results, life skills, qualifications, knowledge, and a wide range of choices for their future lives. Many former students come back into school to fill me in with news and updates and it feels great to be part of so many students’ educational journeys and good memories of their school days.

Hello, my name is Melissa Southern and I am the Head of Year 10. Since joining the Team at Shuttleworth College six years ago, I have seen many changes, which have had a significant impact on the learning experience of the students in our care.

My job as Head of Year is both diverse and challenging, but this makes it all the more rewarding. Seeing young people overcoming challenges and achieving their potential through their own resilience and perseverance is the best part of my job.
