Your Role
This role is designed to provide the Academy with the capability to actively identify and remove the social and emotional barriers to learning by coordinating outstanding pastoral care for all. As part of the Year Manager team, you will be responsible for the pastoral care of an identified year group. You will monitor and track the behaviour of an identified year group and be the first point of contact for students and parents over any inclusion issue. You will also keep accurate data and records to support behaviour management and for quality assurance of behaviour management strategies. You will run behaviour interventions, implement restorative justice and maintain good standards of attendance within your identified year group (at least national average).
Why us?
Co-op Academy Stoke-on-Trent is one of the City’s most successful schools. We have just achieved our best ever Progress 8 score that puts us in the top third of all schools nationally, with some of our subjects in the top 3%.
All our values are based upon the values of the Co-op Group, which will inform our behaviours.
- Self-help: We do not expect to be spoon fed – we will try to do things for ourselves in the right way and at the right time.
- Self-responsibility: Everyone should act in a responsible way around the academy site and in the local community. We take responsibility for our own learning; we want to become independent learners.
- Equality: We are proud to be part of a very multicultural academy, with students from all over the world; it is important that we treat each other with respect and accept that others may be different from ourselves. We should all of us have equal chances to succeed.
- Equity: We want to look for the best in each other. Rewarding others fairly to encourage all types of achievement.
- Democracy: We will contribute our ideas to make the academy a success.
- Solidarity: We can achieve more by working together, rather than as individuals.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
