Co-op Values
Self-help: We do not expect to be spoon fed – we will do things for ourselves in the right way and at the right time.
Self-responsibility: Everyone will act in a responsible way around the academy site and in the local community. We take responsibility for our own learning; we are independent learners.
Equality: We are proud to be part of a very multi-cultural 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 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.
These are the values of co-operatives all over the world; what ever we do, they are the way that we do it.
