• Are proactively supported through their adolescent years, becoming morally well-grounded young adults.
• Will become the best version of themselves, making the most of the excellent opportunities available to develop their character.
• Will make a positive contribution to the local community, working in partnerships where appropriate.
• Will embrace the Co-operative Trust values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality and solidarity.

• To audit the involvement of student groups students in ‘whole college life’ (extra-curricular opportunities such as clubs, residentials etc) and if necessary develop strategies to address engagement issues that are identified.

• Review provision for students with physical disabilities and mobility issues and ensure that curriculum and wider college experience is fully accessible as identified in the Accessibility Plan.
