Welcome to Lipson Cooperative Academy, a school at the heart of its community trying to ensure that every single student is given the best possible opportunity to reach their true potential.

At Lipson you become part of a family, not just a school. It is a place where everyone is valued and known as an individual. At its heart, cooperation is about working together and we aim to create an environment where students and staff can thrive.

We expect high standards of work and behaviour from our students. We are committed to bringing out the very best in everyone. Our mission is to be exceptional in everything we do and although there is rightly a strong emphasis on academic achievement all students are encouraged to take part in a wide range of wider curricular activities. We are very proud of the way that our students represent the school in so many areas of excellence both within and beyond the classroom.

We want our students to be confident, well rounded individuals who are well prepared and able to play a full role in the world in which they live. It is important that they leave Lipson with the necessary skills and qualities required to make a contribution to society but it is also vital that they leave us with the necessary qualifications to earn their way in the world.

Our students are fantastic young people and they are very proud of their school. Our role is quite simple, it is to do everything we can to enable the teachers here to teach to the very best of their ability so that our students can learn to the best of theirs. We are looking forward to meeting with and hearing from many of you in the coming months. Your continued support is really important to us as we will strive to build on our areas of strength and secure the excellent reputation that our staff and students deserve.

We warmly invite you to visit our school to experience for yourself its unique atmosphere and see the outstanding opportunities we offer our students. We look forward to welcoming you.

Martin Brook, Headteacher
