A Warm Welcome
From our Headteacher

Elizabeth Clewlow, Headteacher

It is a great privilege to be able to create a legacy for future generations that is built in, by, and for Stoke-on-Trent. Leading Co-op Academy Florence MacWilliams from inception and seeing it through to fruition is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Florence opened its doors in September 2024 in temporary accommodation, welcoming our founding cohort of 120 Year 7 students. Through collaboration with the Local Authority and the DfE's Free School program, Florence has established itself as an important addition to Stoke-on-Trent's educational landscape. From September 2025, staff and students transitioned into our state-of-art facility and will expand each year until reaching full capacity of 1150 students in 2030.
