2013 | The Discovery Academy Opens

The school was formed in September 2011 from the merger of Mitchell High School in Bucknall and Edensor High School in Longton.

The school was originally based over both of the former school sites, however the school relocated to a new campus built on the site of the former Willfield Centre in September 2013.

The new school buildings were officially opened by Peter Coates, Chairman of the Stoke City Football Club, in July 2014.
