Thank you for your interest in applying for Teacher of Computer Science at Co-op Academy Florence MacWilliams. This is a unique opportunity to lead a new free school in Stoke-on-Trent working closely with the SLT and a new team of teaching and support staff.

Co-op Academy Florence MacWilliams opened its doors in September 2024 in temporary accommodation, welcoming our founding cohort of 120 Year 7 students. On 1st September 2025, we transitioned into our state-of-art facility, and will grow year on year until reaching full capacity of 1150 students in 2030.

This role comes with unparalleled opportunities for development, progression, and influence as the academy evolves.

Why Choose Co-op Florence MacWilliams?

• Lifelong Learning: At Co-op Academy Florence MacWilliams, we are dedicated to fostering continuous professional development throughout your career journey. We offer double the standard number of training days to provide abundant opportunities for learning, skill enhancement, and staying at the forefront of educational advancements.
• Thriving in a Collaborative Community: Joining Co-op Academy Florence MacWilliams means becoming part of the larger Co-op network, one of the UK's most successful Multi-Academy Trusts. You will become part of a dynamic community where peers connect locally and nationally, sharing valuable resources, knowledge, and best practices.
• Streamlined Organisational Support: Our organisational structure is designed to support our staff, allowing you the freedom to focus on your strengths and contribute to the enhancement of educational outcomes for the academy's students.
• Curriculum Excellence for Future Success: Our curriculum is crafted with support from central service subject directors, delivering a solid knowledge base and depth of understanding in each subject.
• We Care: We are committed to creating a culture of high expectations with the PACE principles at the heart of everything we do, providing an exceptional educational experience and a connected community where everyone feels valued and supported.
• Extended Learning Opportunities: The academy has an extended school day to provide additional time for a structured enrichment program, expanding students' horizons, cultivating cultural capital, and nurturing enduring interests beyond the school years. This approach enables an extra two weeks of holiday into the academic year to support shorter, more rejuvenating term times for students and staff.

If you have what we are looking for, we would love for you to apply to be part of a team that is building a school and shaping the future of education in Stoke-on-Trent.
