We are also guided by the six co-operative values,
which we share with all other co-operative schools
and institutions:
Democracy
We encourage participation in the life of our
College, operating student voice, staff voice and
parent voice groups that contribute to the
development of the College.
Equality
We are a comprehensive, inclusive and
non-selective College. We recognize and celebrate
our individual diversity.
Equity
We believe in fairness, and we enable the highest
standards of learning, regardless of needs
Self-help
We believe that everyone can help
themselves to be better, and that we can help
people to help themselves by modelling
self-improvement to others.
Self-responsibility
We help people take responsibility for their actions
and we accept responsibility for our own.
Solidarity
We are aware of our local, national and global
communities. We contribute to, and learn
from, them.
As we develop into an outstanding co-operative
learning community, we are guided by four key
principles
:
welcome ...
We believe
our students must feel they
belong in the College
if we are to foster their
growth and achievement
We accept
our students are children and
young adults
who are still developing and
who will make mistakes
We believe in
educating the whole child
,
balancing high standards of academic
achievement with personal development,
character and habits of learning
We believe
education is a shared
responsibility
and that we achieve the best
outcomes for our students by working
together.
