The Co-operative Values are 

Self-help

We use our own efforts and resources to achieve things without relying on others.

Solidarity

We support each other and work together to achieve a goal.

Democracy

We understand that everyone should be treated equally and has an equal voice and right to contribute.

Equality

We ensure that everyone is treated fairly, equally and with respect.

Equity

We demonstrate attitudes and behaviours which are fair and unbiased.

Self-responsibility

We understand that we are answerable and accountable for our actions.

Our ethos is based on these values.  It is our aim that everyone in the school treats each other with respect and consideration and we set high expectations for children’s behaviour.  

School Vision and Aims

Our vision is for every child to become a successful, independent and resilient lifelong learner and a responsible member of the community, prepared for an ever changing world.

Our aims are that all children will

• Be resilient learners
• Responsible and independent people who have an understanding and respect for the values, views and feelings of others.
• Experience a wide, varied and exciting curriculum and have access to enrichment opportunities.
• Be confident with basic skills and achieve their full potential.
• Be aware of and take responsibility for their own personal safety
• Experience a positive working relationship between the community, school and parents/carers.

British values       

According to Ofsted, 'fundamental British values' are:    

• Democracy.
• The rule of law.
• Individual liberty.
• Mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith.

These link very well to our Co-operative values.
