Tottington High School is a school with a very clear vision for its future, having recently converted to academy status to be part of the family within Shaw Education Trust; committed to the continued professional development of all members of staff and the sustained successful performance of all its academies.

At THS, we are relentless in our pursuit of excellence.

We want to inspire our school community to believe they can achieve their high aspirations and will be successful in the future.

We will accomplish this by:

Working as a team and promoting inclusivity.
Striving for greatness every day.
Being inspired to reach our goals.

Shaw Education Trust are a thriving mix of diverse and growing schools including Primary, Secondary, and Special Schools all working together to improve the lives of young people in our communities. We are sponsored by Shaw Trust, a charity organization that focuses on transforming lives. We're a growing group of dynamically awesome academies providing education to children of all ages and abilities. Staff across our team of schools are dedicated to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to be successful, whatever their starting point in life.

In our secondary schools, we pride ourselves on our innovative approach to curriculum design, ensuring all our schools have breadth and ambition for all students, regardless of their starting points and barriers. Standard curriculum models don't always engage all students, so we constantly seek to innovate and provide better opportunities to develop both knowledge and skills for life. We want our students to believe their curriculum is bold, exciting, purposeful, and ultimately leads to something meaningful for them. Some examples of our innovation include moving towards an extended school day, to provide a world-class enrichment program and more opportunities for essential skills like reading and cultural capital. We are also introducing vocational and technical pathways, which run through the normal school curriculum but attract support from leading employers and universities to develop work-readiness in our students, so that they can progress onto T Levels and apprenticeships.

We are currently at an exciting point in our evolution, with collaboration at the heart of our collective endeavor. We don't operate in silos: we value the power of the pack and strive to collaborate as a collective, ensuring no school or colleague is left behind. We are currently co-constructing an aligned curriculum across all EBacc curriculum subjects, to create a world-class curriculum, rich in powerful knowledge and skills. This is driving up standards through the sharing of the very best practice, whilst allowing each school sufficient flexibility for autonomy to do what is right for their local context. A by-product of this approach has been the reduction in planning workload for colleagues, meaning they can spend more time on the things that matter and fostering strong relationships with pupils and delivery of the curriculum.
