Welcome to your new year as part of the Lipson Co-operative Academy family.

The year may be new, but the values we hold and the standards that we ask from all of our students 3 and, indeed, staff 3 remain unchanged and important.

At the centre of all that we do is PERK. We expect classrooms to be full of students who are: Prepared; Engaged; Respectful; and Kind.

Those qualities will underpin all you do at Lipson and, combined with high personal standards, good levels of effort and the right attitude to learning, will naturally lead to the high premium that we place on good behaviour inside and outside of lessons.

Our promise to you is that we will ensure that there is a great, trusted teacher in every classroom at Lipson, providing a high-quality learning experience. This will not only give you the opportunity to achieve your full academic potential but will give you the chance to exceed in all that you do and reach for the results and further opportunities that you dream of.  

We encourage you to take part in our extra-curricular opportunities, from our three specialist academies in Music, Sport and the Performing Arts to all manner of enrichment opportunities, including after-school clubs, residentials and day trips.

Every opportunity builds relationships and establishes friendships that, with kindness underpinning everything, makes Lipson special and enables you to progress socially, emotionally and academically during your years with us.

Miss Geraghty
