About Orion Coopers
At Orion Coopers we place our pupils learning at the heart of everything we do to ensure that we strive to constantly improve and drive progress. The most important lever to improving outcomes, transforming lives and enabling social mobility is our staff body. We are a coaching school and focus on developing the expertise and practice of all teachers and leaders regardless of their starting points.
Our vision is clear: we are a thriving community where pupils achieve strong progress, attend with purpose, and no child is left behind regardless of background or need. Every classroom reflects our high expectations, and our pupils lead with integrity, wearing their uniform with pride and managing their behaviour with maturity.
Our core values – Trust, Kindness, and Endeavour – shape everything we do. Trust builds the strong relationships that underpin our pastoral care and culture. Kindness ensures that every member of our community feels respected and included. Endeavour drives our commitment to hard work, resilience, and personal growth.
We believe in a holistic education where the academic curriculum is supported and enriched through extra-curricular opportunities and experiences. Pupils leave Orion Coopers with the skills, knowledge and experiences necessary to embark on the university or career of their choice. Our staff are fundamental in making this vision into a reality.
