Last week, a celebration event was held to acknowledge the accomplishments of our Year 9 students from Co-op Academy Stoke-on-Trent, amongst other academies, who participated in the Co-op Academies Trust's REACH project. This initiative, which is implemented across the Trust, aims to support students in developing key employability skills.

Students from Co-op Academy Stoke-on-Trent took centre stage at the grand finale of the Speak Up Stoke-on-Trent Partnership, held today at the Alton Towers Hotel. The event, themed "The Thrill of the Arts," celebrated the incredible journey and remarkable achievements of the young participants.

What an absolutely unforgettable few nights at our Academy as our incredibly talented students brought "Matilda the Musical" to life! The hall was packed to the rafters with enthusiastic families and friends, and they were treated to performances that were nothing short of spectacular.

We were incredibly proud to host and run the inaugural Co-op Academies Trust Model UN Conference right here at Co-op Academy Stoke-on-Trent. This landmark event brought together our Year 9 students and participants from Co-op Academy Belle Vue for a day of engaging global diplomacy.

We are thrilled to celebrate the achievements of four of our Year 7 students who recently participated in the Rising Mathematicians Festival at Aston University in Birmingham. These bright minds, who are also dedicated members of our after-school Axiom Maths club and part of the Trust's Maths Excellence Programme (MEP), enjoyed a day filled with inspiring mathematical exploration.

We're incredibly proud of our Year 7 students who represented us brilliantly at the Co-op Academies Trust Time4Change Social Action Programme final. Their hard work and dedication culminated in a fantastic presentation about their baby bank initiative, designed to support families within our local community.
