We are part of the Co-op Academies Trust, a group of academies led by the values underpinning the co-operative movement; self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity.

Our Trust is proud to be sponsored by the Co-op Group, a partnership that brings invaluable expertise and support from one of the UK’s most respected businesses. Representatives from the Co-op sit alongside parents/carers, staff and other members of our governing body.

This close connection enriches our academies with unique opportunities like the Co-op Young Leaders Programme, Annual Eco Conference, and Maths Olympics, alongside the outstanding education we deliver every day. With significant investments, such as a recent £1 million funding commitment, we’re ensuring our students and schools continue to thrive.

Together, we’re empowering young people, supporting our staff, and building brighter futures.

What Makes Us Different?

We’re proud to be part of something bigger, an organisation that’s truly unique. Our academies are guided by the Ways of Being Co-op, the values that shape everything we do:

• Do What Matters Most
• Be Yourself, Always
• Show You Care
• Succeed Together

These principles are the DNA of our Trust, reflected in every decision we make and action we take.
