Supporting every Strinesdale student to be successful.

Our Vision

Why do we exist?

We support all our students by providing them with expert knowledge that instils the character traits and experiences to be successful global citizens.

How do we behave?

Our Co-Op Ways of Being guide our daily actions and choices.

What do we do?

We serve our community by educating and preparing our students for the next steps in their lives. We provide an ambitious learning experience and firmly believe that all students, irrespective of their background, should have equitable access to an education that opens doors for their future. Exceptional behaviour is expected from students to ensure everyone is safe and happy at school. A calm and orderly environment helps everyone to succeed and experience success. We reward students for their efforts and hard work. At Strinesdale, we feel it is essential that students are fully aware of their successes and achievements as well as the improvements needed to be the best they can be.

How do we know we have achieved success?

Outcomes that exceed national expectations, giving our students enhanced life choices and chances. Developing the knowledge and abilities necessary to make well-informed decisions regarding education, employment, and training pathways. Students benefiting from impactful experiences that contribute to the development of cultural capital and allow them to make informed decisions about their next steps when they leave us.

As part of Co-op Academies Trust we are guided by our cooperative values and principles.

 

 

Our Values

Our values are shown through the Co-op Ways of Being:

• Be yourself, always
• Do what matters most S
• how you care
• Succeed together

Being Co-op is about creating an environment that celebrates difference. Somewhere both students and colleagues feel responsible, valued, empowered and trusted to do the right thing for each other and our community.

The four Ways of Being Co-op guide our future no matter what we do, they’re how we do it.

Our Values are based on those of all co-operatives:

• Self-help – so that we can help ourselves to improve and make a positive contribution to society
• Self-responsibility – so that we take responsibility for, and answer to our actions
• Democracy – through having a say in how we run our Trust and the academies
• Equality – through ensuring that the voice of each individual can be heard
• Equity – a fair and unbiased community
• Solidarity – through sharing interests and common purposes for the benefit of all.
• We work to the co-operative ethical values of:
• Openness – we believe in being open and sharing information and ideas to raise the outcomes of children and young people and improve their life chances
• Honesty – we act in a professional and respectful manner in our dealings with everyone
• Social responsibility – we maximise our impact on those in our communities while minimising our footprint on the world
• Caring for others – we treat everyone as we wish to be treated ourselves, understanding that children and young people have one childhood.
