Our Co-operative Dimension

As a Co-operative School we are part of the thousands of businesses and millions of people worldwide who form the international co-operative movement.

Co-operators share a set of core values. These are –

Self-help
Self-responsibility
Democracy
Equality
Equity
Solidarity

As a Co-operative School, we are a value driven organisation. We use internationally agreed values and principles to develop young people into the citizens of tomorrow. These values are –

Honesty
Openness
Social responsibility
Caring for others

It is our intention, over time, to make the school reflect those values and principles in every respect and every aspect: our daily practice, our curriculum, the way in which staff and pupils interact, and the way we interact with partners and the community.

As a Co-operative School we aim to be and be seen as a good employer. Our policies about employment, conditions and other aspects such as equal opportunities are available on request from the Clerk to Governors at the school.
