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 from 2024 to increase our size 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. Our students are our best advertisement, although closely
followed by our dedicated, creative and passionate staff.
