Welcome to
Co-op Academy Failsworth
The central focus at Co-op Academy Failsworth is the achievement of our pupils. This is not solely defined by academic standards as we recognise that achievement will take many forms depending on the individual potential, interests and talents of each young person. We want all pupils to fulfil their ambitions whether they be academic, musical, sporting or creative. We believe a rich and varied curriculum is important to shaping a young person’s potential.
A Warm Welcome

We are very proud of being part of the Co-op Academies Trust and we feel the strong co-operative ethos this provides is a perfect fit for our Academy. We have adopted the Co-op ways of being as a guide for life in the Academy.
