The Streetly Academy will develop its students and staff, and working with parents, enable our PRIDE values in everything we do.

The Streetly Academy is a 1500 strong, 11-18 Sports College in the heart of the community. Streetly Academy enjoys an enviable reputation as a school that not only produces high levels of academic achievement, but also focuses on developing rounded and grounded young people. There are currently 1517 students on roll including 229 in the Sixth Form.

Staff well-being is at the centre of our operations. We have a low staff turnover, significantly below the national average, and a staff absence rate of nearly half that of schools nationally. This is because we look after our staff, including a health care plan for every employee to cover some of the costs of keeping you well for services such as dental, physio, and eye care, with the addition of counselling and fast track to consultant appointments should you be carrying the worry of a health scare. The cost of this plan is covered by the school.

There are 2 things that drive us at The Streetly Academy, Values and Achievement. We have adopted the Olympic Values that sit at the very centre of everything we do. Personal Excellence, Respect and Friendship, Inspiration, Determination and Courage, and Equality (PRIDE) are values that are universally shared, and help our students maximise their achievement. Not only are we proud of our results, we are equally proud of our well-mannered, helpful, and well-presented students.

We have an extensive Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme, Sports Leaders programmes and a highly effective Pupil Leadership Team whose views are sought on everything from senior staff appointments to improvements in teaching and learning. Via our pupil engagement strategy, we successful enable our students to lead and take responsibility on a wide variety of issues, from learning spaces to gardens, e-learning to the environment.

Our attractive site boasts superb facilities, particularly in the area of our sports specialism, with a a full-size synthetic turf pitch, 4 court sports hall, gym and fitness area, dance studio, swimming pool, and now the country’s first and only school based Padel Tennis facility. We are particularly proud of the contribution our Sixth Form Students make to the life of the school.

At Streetly, all teaching staff and every student has access to a one-to-one device, a Google Chromebook. Central to our school ethos of developing 21st century learners, our reputation for being leaders in using technologies for education is both national and international.

Pastorally, students are organised in year groups and are also members of one of five houses.  This has improved pastoral staff impact on raising academic achievement. Students are taught in mixed ability groups in Foundation subjects and are set according to ability in Core subjects, MFL and PE.

The Streetly Academy is located on the border between Sutton Coldfield and Walsall, about 8 miles from central Birmingham. We are situated adjacent to Sutton Park, one of the largest urban parks in Europe at just over 900 hectares, with a mix of heath land, wetlands and marshes, seven lakes and extensive woodlands. The park boasts a handful of quality restaurants, two 18-hole golf courses, a number of children’s playgrounds, a visitors’ centre and even a donkey sanctuary!
