Married father-of-three Shotton showed no emotion as a judge told him he had abused the trust placed in him by the boys’ parents.
At the end of a nine-day trial at Hove Crown Court Judge Anthony Niblett said: “As a teacher you above all people must have known the effect of your actions.
“You cared nothing but for your own perverted sexual gratification. You abused the trust placed in you by their parents.
“You have been living a lie to your colleagues, your family and your friends. Your truth has now emerged.”
The jury heard revealed the abuse to a member of his family in 2005 and confided there was a particular teacher he did not like.
