  • CARE Principals

    Published 28/02/23

    At Co-op Academy Belle Vue, we care about what we do and how we do things.  This principle of care runs through all that we do.  Staff and students at the academy understand the importance of our eight distinct principles of care, and these help us aim high, work together, do the right thing and create a community where enjoyment and hard work go hand in hand.

    Community, Cooperation

    We add value and raise the standards within our school and the wider community. We work together relentlessly to persue true inclusivity, equity and diversity.

    Ambition, Achievement

    We have the highest ambitions for ourselves and each other. We aim for nothing less than what we are capable of giving.

    Respect, Responsibility

    We have a duty to treat each other with dignity and support at all times. Our high standards mean we make well-informed decisions even when nobody is watching.

    Endeavour, Enjoyment

    We cultivate ‘joyous purpose’ by championing endeavour, ensuring constant engagement through our curriculum.

  • Community Fridge: Every Monday 10am – 12pm

    Published 03/02/23

    We are delighted to host The Jesuscina Foundation’s Community Fridge every Monday from 10 am – 12 pm. This is open to everyone in our community without any need to be referred to or having to prove eligibility. People can visit and take whatever food they need or donate food to the fridge.

    What is a Community Fridge?

    A Community Fridge is a space where anyone can exchange food that would otherwise go to waste. It’s a way of stopping good food ending up in the bin, and promoting a spirit of sharing and mutual support within a community. They are social spaces which help to reduce food waste, build trust locally and normalise the sharing of foods and other household items. Community Fridges are open to welcoming places open to anyone.

    Why do we need Community Fridges?

    The average UK family wastes £810 a year by throwing away food and drink, and £3 billion is wasted by the food sector. Despite growing awareness of food waste, people and business lack easy ways to pass on food near its ‘sell by’ date to others.

    What’s the Community Fridge Network?

    In 2016, environmental charity Hubbub launched a Community Fridge in Derbyshire to redistribute good food to the community. This generated loads of learnings and insight how to operate a Community Fridge safely. To share these learnings and connect fridge groups,Hubbub set up the free Community Fridge Network with funding from the Big Lottery. Since then, Community Fridges have popped up across the UK helping thousands connect to their communities, access nutritious food, save money and reduce waste.

    How can I support the Community Fridge?

    You can donate food by visiting our main academy reception. Please contact bellevue@coopacademies.co.uk. You can see the rules of what you can and can’t donate by visiting https://www.hubbub.org.uk/the-community-fridge

    How can I visit the Community Fridge?

    The Jesuscina Foundation’s community fridge is held in Co-op Academy Belle Vue’s community hub, 450 Hyde Road, M12 4BA. Visitors can use the community entrance that is next to but separate from our main academy entrance.
