About Stretton Church of England Academy

Stretton Church of England Academy is a popular school in Coventry, and the numbers show it. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 65 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.17, meaning more than two families applied for every spot. Of those, 34 put it as their first preference, and all 30 offers went to first-preference applicants. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, even though the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage. The school is a Church of England primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with 212 pupils on roll, slightly above its official capacity of 210. The headteacher is Roberta Mainwaring, and the school serves a community where 39.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average.
