Values and vision

While students’ academic performance is strong, encouragement of participation in extra-curricular opportunities is considered to be of equal importance, with Church Stretton School offering a wide range of activities.

Ofsted report
“Teaching is now judged by you as good or outstanding as a result of rigorous monitoring and effective professional development. School leaders have high expectations, which the school community is determined to meet. Middle leaders play an increased role in monitoring teaching, learning and assessment and they are accountable for performance in their areas of responsibility. As a result of these and other improvements, most current pupils in most subjects at both key stages are making good progress. Poor behaviour is rare. ”
