Vision and Values
Co-op Academy Clarice Cliff strives to give the best possible start to education for all of its pupils.
At Co-op Academy Clarice Cliff, we are proud of the Co-op Values that shape everything we do. Alongside these, we celebrate our own unique set of values that reflect who we are as a school community. We call these values 'FAMILY' because Clarice Cliff truly is one big family made up of our pupils, parents, staff, ACC members, and the wider community who support us every day.
Each letter of FAMILY represents a core value that captures what life at Clarice Cliff feels like: the kindness we show, the ambition we encourage, the curiosity we nurture, the inclusion we champion, the exciting learning we provide, and the strong sense of belonging we create.
We are committed to living these values in everything we do and working in partnership with you throughout your child’s learning journey at Clarice Cliff.
Below is an overview of our FAMILY values.


Our curriculum is ambitious and focuses on what the children and community need. Our Academy is focused on removing barriers to our children to ensure they achieve. Co-op Academy Clarice Cliff will make a positive difference to its community, becoming central to raising aspirations and forming supportive connections with a range of agencies.
Our Ways of Being Co-op

Do what matters most
What matters most is ensuring that our students achieve the best possible outcomes.
We make a positive difference to our children through showing exemplary professional behaviours.

Be yourself, always
We bring our best self to work, so that we each contribute a bit of our own unique Co-op difference, and respect others for doing the same.
We understand that we are all unique and bring our own strengths to work.

Show you care
We care about our Co-op, our colleagues, our members, our students, their parents and communities, now and for the future.
Our focus remains on doing our best for our children.

Succeed together
Co-operating is what makes us different; we’re better and stronger when we work together.
We recognise that what we achieve is achieved together.
