Why us?

At Co-op Academy Failsworth, Co-op Academy Failsworth, is a fully inclusive, popular and over-subscribed 11-16 comprehensive Academy with almost 1500 students on roll. In June 2024 OFSTED rated the school good. We are located 3 miles from Manchester city centre, situated 1 mile from junction 22 of the M60. Our priority is to recruit the very best of staff for our Academy. Our staff enjoy working at our academy and you would be welcome to speak to them about their experience of working at the Academy. The academy is very focused on staff wellbeing.

All our values are based upon the values of the Co-op Group, which will inform our behaviours.

Self-help: We do not expect to be spoon fed – we will try to do things for ourselves in the right way and at the right time.

Self-responsibility: Everyone should act in a responsible way around the academy site and in the local community. We take responsibility for our own learning; we want to become independent learners.

Equality: We are proud to be part of a very multicultural academy, with students from all over the world; it is important that we treat each other with respect and accept that others may be different from ourselves. We should all of us have equal chances to succeed.

Equity: We want to look for the best in each other. Rewarding others fairly to encourage all types of achievement.

Democracy: We will contribute our ideas to make the academy a success.

Solidarity: We can achieve more by working together, rather than as individuals.
