The Co-operative values

As a partner to the Osborne Co-operative Academy Trust we are committed to the Co-operative values. We are all members of the Schools' co-operative Society and work in partnership to support other Co-operative Schools. Our core co-operative values are:

Self Help

In a Co-operative people help each other whilst helping themselves by working together for mutual benefit.

Self Responsibility

Individuals within co-operatives act responsibly and play a full part in the organisation.

Democracy

A Co-operative will be structured so that members have control over the organisation - one member, one vote.

Equality

Each member will have equal rights and benefits (according to their contribution).

Equity

Members will be treated justly and fairly.

Solidarity

Members will support each other, their communities and other co-operatives.

British Values

The promotion of British values is firmly embedded in the work that we do, and 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 values link very well to our co-operative values, illustrated in the following table:
