Stratton is a vibrant Upper School with around 900 students on roll. Due to considerable housing development within and around Biggleswade, the school is set to grow significantly, including a longer- term plan to admit students at Y7 to an overall capacity of 1650 students. We are proud of our large and successful Sixth Form and the breadth of curriculum we are able to offer our post-16 students. In every respect we are a truly comprehensive school with a full ability range. As the only provider of Key Stage 4 and 5 education in the town, our challenge is to move effortlessly between preparing Year 13 students for top universities to working with students who, without our support, would have rejected the concept of education.
