About the School

Shevington High School is a very popular and successful 11-16 secondary school with a track record for achieving the best possible outcomes for the pupils it serves.

The school located in the village of Shevington, 3 miles from Wigan town centre and five minutes from the M6 motorway. The school is smaller than the average size secondary school but grown significantly over the last 5 Years. We currently have 178 students in every year group.

As a School, we have developed a learning culture of high aspirations and expectations for all students.

At Shevington, we are committed to maintaining the very highest standards. Our positive approach seeks to identify and nurture the ability and talent in every learner and to ensure through an array of experiences and opportunities that everyone has the chance to shine.

Shevington High School is a happy school where individuality and difference are recognised and embraced and curiosity, creativity and leadership are fostered. In addition, every learner has the right to strive for success and to have their successes celebrated. We are a disciplined and caring environment where respect for each other, small courtesies and good manners are held in very high regard.

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 created 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.

The school has a strong school vision supported by all stakeholders.

Through our values and personalised approach to learning we expect students to achieve the highest academic excellence, recognise opportunities, have a positive view of challenges and dare to think in new ways – to be creative – and realise that “life is what you make it!”

At Shevington High School, you will find a school which is totally committed to ongoing and high-quality professional development for all staff who form part of our team. We have a comprehensive programme of professional development and have a Staff Coaching Programme where staff work collaboratively in triads throughout the year reflecting on practice and developing teacher protocols. All teachers also embark on personal research and inquiry projects and share their findings with others as part of our professional learning community. We believe that the focus on developing teacher protocols has been central to our ongoing success.

If you are suitably qualified and would like to share in our vision and journey as we continue to develop an innovative and excellent educational provision, we would very much welcome hearing from you.

Mr J Grant
