It was formed from the pupils of Gawthorpe High School and initially operated from the former Habergham High Sixth Form in Kiddrow Lane. Following an OFSTED inspection in February 2008, the school went into special measures prompting the resignation of the then head teacher. Shuttleworth moved into new buildings on the former Gawthorpe site at the start of the 2008–09 academic year, the first in the borough to do so.
