iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to our school website, I hope you enjoy seeing all the exciting opportunities we provide for our children and finding out a little more about the school. Our school is based within the community of Stratton. We have around 200 children taught in 7 single age classes.
We are very lucky to have excellent facilities; inside we have our own school hall , a nurture room, a well-stocked library, a kitchen for cookery lessons and space for a range of music lessons. Outside there are extensive grounds which incorporate an infant play area, large field, nature area, reflective garden and hard surfaced caged sports zone.
Our children enjoy using all aspects of their school environment and it provides an excellent platform from which they can achieve their potential in all areas. Everyone at Stratton works collaboratively to create a safe, happy and inclusive learning environment which recognises, nurtures and celebrates the uniqueness of each individual.
Our Christian values and Learning Powers are the foundation for all aspects of our curriculum. Through rich and varied experiences, we build resilience so that as life-long learners we face challenges and persevere, with courage, empathy and self-belief.
