From specialised training for teachers to exciting enrichment programs for students, we ensure that every child has the support they need to thrive.

We believe that when young people are given the right opportunities, they can achieve incredible things. It was a fantastic example of #BeingCoop in action! Working alongside the Co-op Foundation, we secured a grant from the Maths Excellence Fund to help more students—particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds—pursue their passion for maths. This is what being Co-op is all about—#SucceedTogether to create a brighter future for all. #ItsWhatWeDo #TheCoopWay #BeingCoop #DoWhatMattersMost #ShowYouCare

Exciting news from Co-op Academy Florence MacWilliams! Last week, we reached a major milestone with the installation of the steel frame that will form the backbone of the academy, set to be completed by September 2025. The moment was celebrated with a special steel-signing ceremony, attended by our CEO Chris Tomlinson, Headteacher Elizabeth Clewlow, key contractors from Bowmer + Kirkland, and four pupils from our founding Year 7 cohort, who signed the structure to commemorate their involvement. This new academy will provide modern teaching spaces, specialist labs, and community sports facilities, all designed to meet net zero targets. As we continue building, we’re thrilled to see Co-op Academy Florence MacWilliams already becoming the top choice for secondary school places in Stoke-on-Trent for 2025! https://lnkd.in/eXnyCuqa #SucceedTogether #TheCoopWay #DoWhatMattersMost #ShowYouCare #BeingCoop #ItsWhatWeDo

We're proud to announce our partnership with @impetus-the-private-equity-foundation to further support young people and reduce school exclusions.

As a Trust, we're passionate about providing early, tailored support to ensure every child can thrive. This collaboration is a big step forward in expanding these opportunities and making sure that no student is left behind. Together, we’re shaping a brighter future for our young people.
