We are proud to be part of the Co-op Academies Trust and work closely with all academies to achieve the shared goals, values and ways of being. The ‘Ways of Being’ are embedded in all that we do within the academy and the community. We have very high expectations of our staff and students and have a culture built upon trust and respect.

All our values are based upon the values of the Co-op Group, which will inform our behaviours.

Self-help:
We do not expect to be spoon fed – we will try to do things for ourselves in the right way and at the right time.

Self-responsibility:
Everyone should act in a responsible way around the academy site and in the local community. We take responsibility for our own learning; we want to become independent learners.

Equality:
We are proud to be part of a very multicultural academy, with students from all over the world; it is important that we treat each other with respect and accept that others may be different from ourselves. We should all of us have equal chances to succeed.

Equity:
We want to look for the best in each other. Rewarding others fairly to encourage all types of achievement.

Democracy:
We will contribute our ideas to make the academy a success.

Solidarity:
We can achieve more by working together, rather than as individuals.

Being part of the Co-operative Group, we are both guided and driven by the Co-op values which are embedded in everything that we do within our Academy - We strive to demonstrate the following ethical values in everything we do - they are our ‘Ways of Being’:

Succeed together

Do what matters most

Be yourself,…
