Our Vision & Values

The Shrewsbury Academy wholeheartedly subscribes to a new type of ethos.

Our motto is ‘Achieving excellence together’. It means so much more to us than a traditional school motto. We mean what we say and what is more, we put it into everyday practice.

We are a co-operative school both in structure and spirit, so a set of key principles guides everything that we do.

These are drawn from the internationally recognised values and principles of the co-operative movement, and it is this shared philosophy that makes our school special.

We believe in:

• Democracy and shared British values
• Self-reliance
• Hard work
• High expectations
• Equality
• Respect

Our students will become the citizens of the future. That is why these ethical values are the foundation of life at the Shrewsbury Academy:

• Openness
• Honesty
• Social responsibility
• Caring for others

We believe in our CARE values and we all work hard every day to achieve them:

• Co-operation
• Aspiration
• Resilience
• Excellence
