Learning is at the heart of all that we do and in order to prepare young people to become the citizens of the future the learning must be stimulating, challenging and be about real life and the real world.
We are immensely proud to be a Laboratory School as part of the International Centre of Educational Enhancement (ICEE) and Bolton University. Through our relentless research and development work with the ICCE we have developed the Shevington Teaching Framework and developed a blended learning approach where all students work from digital devices in lessons through Google Classroom. This has transformed our learning and pedagogical approach in lessons.
One of our other unique strengths, is our commitment to encouraging and enabling students to take ownership of their learning. To this end all students attend a weekly coaching session with their form tutor setting weekly and long term learning goals linked to our curriculum and Student Agency in Learning (SAIL) approach.

We have worked hard to create a working environment, where hard work and dedication are rewarded. We are very proud of our amazing students, our dedicated staff and extremely supportive governors and parents.
