Osborne Co-operative Academy Trust

With warmer weather forecast over the coming days, we want to reassure families that we have every intention to have all Osborne Co-operative Academy Trust schools remain open throughout the heatwave, whilst it remains safe to do so.

Each school has its own measures in place to help students stay safe and comfortable - including adjusted routines, shaded areas, hydration breaks and flexible uniform guidance where appropriate.

Please check your school’s website, newsletters, MCAS or social media channels for specific updates and advice.

Our priority is always the wellbeing of our students and staff, and we thank parents and carers for their continued support as we work together to keep everyone safe in the heat.

As we begin Pride Month, we’re proud to celebrate the diversity, individuality and strength of every young person across our Trust. Creating safe, inclusive and welcoming schools is central to who we are. When students feel seen and valued, they thrive.

Pride Month is a reminder of the importance of respect, equality and fairness - values that sit at the heart of our co-operative community. Throughout June, our schools will be sharing stories, learning opportunities and moments that highlight the power of kindness and belonging.

Our CEO Mr Griffiths would like to share this message with our Osborne community today:
“Every child deserves to feel safe, respected and able to be themselves. Inclusion isn’t an initiative for us - it’s a commitment. Pride Month gives us a chance to celebrate the diversity that strengthens our Trust and the communities we serve.”

We look forward to marking this month together and continuing to build environments where every child can flourish.

We’d like to wish all our students, families and staff a happy and restful half‑term. It’s been a busy few weeks across our schools, and we’re proud of everything our young people have achieved this term.

If you’re looking for information about half‑term clubs, revision groups or activities, please check your school’s specific social media, websites and newsletters, where updates are shared directly with parents and carers.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday 1st June, ready for a positive and productive second half of the term.

On 4 June, all Osborne schools will be taking part in AI Awareness Day, a national event helping young people understand the fast‑changing world of artificial intelligence.

This year, our Trust is focusing on Green and Ethical Use of AI. It’s a theme that reflects our co‑operative values and our commitment to helping every child thrive in a responsible, thoughtful and sustainable way.

Over the coming weeks, our schools will be joining live assemblies that explore:

How AI can support learning

Why fairness, safety and transparency matter

The environmental impact of digital tools

How to make good choices when using technology

The importance of human judgement in an AI‑enabled world

We aren’t just teaching students how to use AI.
We’re teaching them how to use it responsibly, sustainably and fairly.

More updates will follow as we build towards the event. For more information visit https://aiawarenessday.co.uk/
