Co-op Academies Trust - Inspiring the children of today to be the STEM leaders of tomorrow

From presentations to informational videos, HUB turned students' attention towards climate change.

Back to profile

Co-op Academies Trust is a multi-academy trust supporting schools across the North of England. Sponsored by the Co-op Group, the trust encourages pupils to care about community and think outside the box of academia.

The Careers and Enterprise Company (CEC) asked Co-op Academies Trust to create a set of resources that would:

Increase pupils’ understanding of environmental, social and economic challenges.
Teach them about renewable energy.
Inspire them to take a key STEM subject at GCSE.
Inform them of the career prospects linked to each subject.

Co-op Academies Trust knew the facts that would spark inspiration in 11-14-year-olds; what they didn’t know was how to bring this information to life.

Enter HUB.

This was the first project of its kind for Co-op Academies Trust – so we had only the brand guidelines to use as a reference.

This wasn’t a problem.

Having worked with us for four years already, our client knew HUB could be trusted with a dash of creative freedom.

Our creatives produced vibrant and attention-grabbing materials for each year group.

Our content team collaborated on scripts, storyboards and questionnaires for Q&As.

On location in Manchester, our photographers captured Belle Vue Academy whilst under construction and filmed inside Co-op Group’s impressive HQ.

It’s times like this when HUB’s integration thrives.

HUB's work covered several mediums:

Several lessons each for Year 7, 8 and 9 pupils
A unique slide deck for each lesson
PDF teacher notes
Handouts
Videos from Co-op Power, Co-op Logistics, Sir Robert McAlpine, and Co-op Engineering

We created and produced:
