Unlocking potential through expert knowledge and character.
Our Academy is ...
A co-operative community where pupils from different backgrounds, beliefs and cultures grow together, developing the skills and character they need to be successful beyond their time at the academy;
A community where staff work together to create an inclusive, welcoming and highly ambitious learning environment;
A community where local residents and organisations are empowered to work together for the success of all.
Belle Vue is a historic part of Manchester, known for the Belle Vue Zoological Gardens and Belle Vue Stadium.
In March 2020, Manchester City Council approved the building of a new school on Hyde Road to serve the local community opening in September 2021.
Co-op Academies Trust were awarded the academy because of their strong record of good schools in Manchester and the North West.
We named the academy, Co-op Academy Belle Vue. Not only does it directly serve the community around the academy, its history is one that generations of people remember as a core part of their childhood.
Improving the lives of young people and their communities is at the heart of everything we do. And we are looking forward to being part of a new Belle Vue legacy for the next generation!
'I am grateful not only for the new building but also to be part of such a dedicated, caring and hardworking team.'

As part of Co-op Academies Trust we are guided by our cooperative values and principles.
Our Values
Our values are shown through the Co-op Ways of Being:
Be yourself, always
Do what matters most
Show you care
Succeed together
Being Co-op is about creating an environment that celebrates difference. Somewhere both students and colleagues feel responsible, valued, empowered and trusted to do the right thing for each other and our community.
The four Ways of Being Co-op guide our future – no matter what we do, they’re how we do it.
Our Values are based on those of all co-operatives:
Self-help – so that we can help ourselves to improve and make a positive contribution to society
Self-responsibility – so that we take responsibility for, and answer to our actions
Democracy – through having a say in how we run our Trust and the academies
Equality – through ensuring that the voice of each individual can be heard
Equity – a fair and unbiased community
Solidarity – through sharing interests and common purposes for the benefit of all.
We work to the co-operative ethical values of:
Openness – we believe in being open and sharing information and ideas to raise the outcomes of children and young people and improve their life chances
Honesty – we act in a professional and respectful manner in our dealings with everyone
Social responsibility – we maximise our impact on those in our communities while minimising our footprint on the world
Caring for others – we treat everyone as we wish to be treated ourselves, understanding that children and young people have one childhood.
