Born into a wealthy family of lawyers in London, Coakley attended Blackheath High School. Following this, she spent a gap year teaching English and Latin in Lesotho. Her education continued at New Hall (now Murray Edwards College), University of Cambridge (BA, First Class Honours, 1973) and at Harvard Divinity School (Th.M., 1975), to which she went as a Harkness Fellow. Her Ph.D. on Ernst Troeltsch is also from the University of Cambridge (1983).
Coakley has taught at Lancaster University (1976–1991), at Oriel College, Oxford (1991-3) and at Harvard University in the Divinity School (1993–2007; as Mallinckrodt Professor of Divinity, 1995–2007). She was a visiting professor of religion at Princeton University (2003-4). In 2006, she was elected the Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge (the first woman appointed to this chair) and took up the position in 2007.
