Our Co-op Values: All of this is based upon the co-operative values which will inform our behaviours.

• Self-help – we help ourselves to improve, developing skills and independence to support ourselves and make a positive contribution

• Self-responsibility – We take responsibility for our behaviours and actions

• Democracy – We have a say in how we run our academy and we will contribute our ideas to make the academy a success.

• Equality – We ensure everyone’s voice can be heard and that everyone has equal access to opportunities.

• Equity – We are fair and unbiased so that everyone has an equal chance

• Solidarity – We share interests and a common purpose. We achieve more by working together, rather than as individuals.

We demonstrate our ethical values in everything we do:

• Openness – we believe in open two way communication with everyone in our schools and beyond sharing information and ideas to raise standards and life chances

• Honesty – we act in a professional, honest and respectful manner in our dealings with everyone

• Social responsibility – we maximise our impact on the people in our communities while minimising our footprint on the world

• Caring for Others – we treat everyone as we wish to be treated ourselves, understanding that children only have one childhood

We live the ‘Ways of Being Co-op’:

• Succeed together – Cooperating is what makes us different; we’re better and stronger when we work together.

• Be yourself, always – We bring our best self to the academy, so that we each contribute and respect others for doing the same. 

• Do what matters most – What matters most is ensuring that our students achieve their best personnel outcomes.

• Show you care – We care about our students, their parents,our colleagues, our communities, our Trust and Co-op values, now and for the future.
