Have a read of this story on the BBC News website on Co-operative Schools...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8391006.stm
A network has been created to connect the growing number of co-operative school trusts in England. There are now 26 co-operative schools running in 15 trusts - with a further 120 schools in the pipeline.
The first co-operative school was opened near Stockport last year and the Children's Secretary Ed Balls wants 200 by the end of next year. "Co-operative school trusts put power in the hands of those who know best what is needed," said Mr Balls.
The network will provide support for head teachers and governors entering co-operative school trusts and allow existing trusts to share best practice. Mr Balls, who is a Labour and Co-operative MP, describes the push for more co-operative trusts as "a major new initiative in mainstream education in this country".
