On Friday, 10th October Stratford College celebrated student achievements for the past academic year. We welcomed Colm Keegan - poet, writer, dramatist - as our keynote speaker who shared with us the transformative power of poetry.
We were delighted to have our most recent past-pupils - the class of 2025 - return to accept their prizes. Musical interludes from Joseph (6th Year), Reuben and Ruiqi (2nd Year) and Skye (6th Year) were additional highlights to the Awards Ceremony.
A huge thanks to Ms Talbot, Mr Barrett, the Student Council, 6th Year Prefects, John our caretaker, and all the teachers and staff who made it another memorable afternoon. For more photos see the 2025-2026 gallery!

It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
