In December 2012, the school was ranked as “Good” by OFSTED[3] and became the first school in England to move from "Satisfactory" to "Outstanding" in 3 years under the new, more challenging framework introduced in 2012. In 2019, after an Ofsted inspection, the school was given a "Needs to improve".

In 2014 Streetly was designated a National Teaching School, known as The Sutton Park Teaching School. It is also a National Support School.

The current headteacher is Billy Downie, a National Leader of Education. Previous headteachers include Debbie Hunton, Pat Walters (interim head) and David Binnie.

Notable former students include swimmer Tully Kearney, who won gold for Great Britain at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics[4][5] and Connie Talbot, an English singer who was the runner-up of the first series of Britain's Got Talent in 2007.
