Welcome to our school website.  We are a Church of England school and our school vision and values reflect our Christian distinctiveness. Our school vision Achieve, Believe , Succeed is underpinned by our Christian Values and Personal Qualities .  We believe every child can reach their full potential with the right provision and that a well-developed curriculum allows all children to flourish.  I work alongside Mrs Mainwaring to ensure that all children achieve.  Working with our parents and the community we can ensure that the children at Stretton CE Academy receive the best possible education.

I hope you enjoy our website. Please come and visit to see us in action

Mrs Leah Baddeley 

(Executive Headteacher)

At Stretton CE Academy we aim to be a school that supports our children to develop their unique talents and grow in confidence and commitment as they progress through our school. We want our children to be happy, positive and caring citizens with the self-belief to tackle new challenges and achieve their dreams.

It is very important to us that we are a caring and inclusive school at the heart of our community, where we aim to support all children to achieve their best. Safeguarding and well-being are fundamental to all we do. We know that children learn best when they are happy. We work hard to provide opportunities to establish and maintain strong relationships between home and school that allow us to do our best at all times to meet our children's individual needs. 

We know that the year ahead will be another year of challenge, but also one of excitement and opportunity. We will be doing all we can to ensure our children have a rich curriculum and opportunities to develop their talents and interests in varied ways. 

If you would like to find out more about what we do, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Our Curriculum Vision

At Stretton Church of England Academy, our Christian values underpin everything we do. We recognise the uniqueness of every member of the Stretton family and the value of each person’s contribution to our school and to our local and wider communities. Our approach to learning is founded on the principles of empathy and challenge: we seek to provide a positive, respectful and inspiring environment in which children are encouraged to be open, honest and kind. We aim to provide a curriculum which respects and validates children’s diverse experiences and broadens their horizons. We support each other to work hard and embrace new opportunities and challenges with confidence so that we can all achieve our best.

We want our children to be well-informed, reflective, and critical thinkers with the self-confidence to form and pursue their own valuable goals in life. They will be equipped to be ambitious, compassionate members of society who have the courage to challenge injustice and become responsible and empathetic leaders in their chosen fields. Our aim is for all our children to believe that there are no limits to what they can achieve and to equip them with the skills, personal qualities and understanding to nurture their own spiritual growth and to make their dreams a reality.

Our vision is underpinned by six Christian values:

We also promote six personal qualities which we believe support children to become ambitious and responsible learners equipped to lead valuable, fulfilled adult lives:

Mental and physical health are fundamental to self-confidence and resilience. Our curriculum is also informed by the ‘Mental Health 5’ principles:
