At Stretton Sugwas, we believe that “each bee plays a part in the hive,” reflecting our commitment to fostering collaboration and community among our students, staff, and families. Our dedicated team works closely together to ensure that every child is supported in their learning journey, enabling them to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

We are proud of our strong Christian ethos, which underpins all that we do, guiding our pupils to develop not only their academic skills but also their character and values. Our engaging curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity and a love of learning, preparing our pupils for a bright future.

We embrace the extensive use of Forest Schools education, which allows our pupils to engage with nature in a hands-on and meaningful way. This approach fosters a deep connection to the environment, encouraging children to develop resilience, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility for the world around them. Our Christian ethos underpins our educational philosophy where we instil our learners to be responsible and caring members of the community.

Our commitment to early childhood education is evident in our pre-school, Pippins, where we welcome children from the age of 2 years old.
