Co-op Academy Stoke-on-Trent has an established reputation as one of the city’s most successful high schools. Over a decade since becoming a sponsored academy, working in one of the most progressive and forward-thinking Trusts, our students have continued to achieve some of the very best educational outcomes in the country. Indeed, in many subjects, our students make progress that puts them in the top 10% nationally. Our staff and students benefit from state of the art facilities, first opened in September 2012, and currently undergoing further development and expansions following an £8m investment. The Academy is routinely over-subscribed and ever more parents want their children to benefit from the educational offer, and wider opportunities, that we provide.
We are student focused and standards driven. Our vision is underpinned by a fundamental belief in the transformative power of the highest standards. Outcomes really matter because they change children’s lives. However, we also recognise that those outcomes are the product of lots of different components: a broad curriculum; exceptional teaching; a comprehensive extra-curricular offer that broadens opportunities; and the very highest quality pastoral care. We care about the children that we see every day because we care about the adults they will become. Our decision making, therefore, puts young people at the heart of what we do.
We are incredibly proud to serve a community that is diverse. Our Academy welcomes everyone and we build our culture on the values of respect and tolerance. Everyone has something to contribute at our Academy and we know that we are richer for our diversity.
We are looking for colleagues who want to make a positive difference to the lives of the children with whom they work. We work in a context in which poverty and deprivation are daily challenges in the lives of the families and young people we serve. We want to work with colleagues who believe, as we do, that education is the tool by which the challenges of poverty can be overcome. Leaders have a proactive approach to tackling the challenges faced by school staff: eradicating excessive workload; creating greater opportunities for flexibility; and doing all that we can to create a sense of common purpose.
We were delighted that Ofsted recognised that our Academy continues to be ‘good’ when they visited in May 2023. Our mission now is to be a truly exceptional Academy for the simple reason that our students and families deserve only the very best.
The Academy is part of the Co-op Academies Trust (CAT), a multi-academy trust with academies across the north west and midlands. Our academies are arranged into three regions: Stoke, Staffordshire and Merseyside; Manchester; and West Yorkshire.
Our offer is simple but compelling:
- The opportunity to work in one of the city’s most successful academies where our teachers and staff make a real difference to students’ lives and futures.
- Be part of an academy and a MAT that has a reputation locally and nationally for its ethical values.
- Join a MAT that lives its co-operative values by creating opportunities for collaboration and cross-academy working to help everyone achieve their professional and personal goals.
- Work in an academy that puts reducing staff workload, focusing on wellbeing, and increasing flexibility for its employees, at the forefront because this means our young people benefit from a highly motivated team of staff.
- The Co-op Academies Trust benefits package.
