New Deputy Prefects were presented with their badges in late October by our Senior Prefects as part of Stratford's model of Student Leadership and Student Council. Congratulations to the 5th Year students!
Model of Student Leadership and Student Council, October 2025
Tier 1: Senior Prefects (The Student Leadership Team) This group of students come from 6th Year and as Prefects they are school ambassadors, mentors and liaisons who work with all the partners in the school at events.
Tier 2: Deputy Prefects (and Student Council Executive Team): This group comes from 5th Year with responsibility for leading Student Council. These students serve a dual role as both Prefects in training and direct leaders of Student Council.
Tier 3: Class Representatives from 1st - 6th Year: They represent their class's views, communicate Council decisions back to their peers and participate in Student Council initiatives and help and support at school events.

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method.

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