Cooperative Values

We have a clear mission to educate, inspire and empower young people to be the next generation of leaders. We are dedicated to promoting the emotional, physical and social well-being of our diverse and multi-cultural population and aspire to be a centre of excellence for the education of young people.

The co-operative values of co-operation, self reliance, team work and ethical approaches to business have informed our school values. These values and principles will underpin the work of the Trust and we believe will contribute to strengthening the school and its links with the local community.

Each half term focuses on one particular value:

Half Term 1 – Self-help
We help people to help themselves
Half Term 2 – Self-responsibility
We take responsibility for, and answer to our actions
Half Term 3 – Equality
No matter how much money a member invests in their share account, they still have one vote
Half Term 4 – Solidarity
We share interests and common purposes with our members and other co-operatives
Half Term 5 – Democracy
We give our members a say in the way we run our businesses
Half Term 6 – Equity
We treat people with kindness, honesty and integrity
