Stratton School at a glance

Located in Biggleswade, Central Bedfordshire, Stratton School is a secondary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 986 pupils aged 11 to 18. In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 38.9, below the national average of 46. Results have held broadly steady on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.

30% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well below the national average of about 45%. 54% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Competition for places is real here - 98% of first-choice applicants were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026 (133 first choices for 131 places). After Year 11, 88% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 11.1%. Stratton School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
