First Year Computer Studies students presented their App Design ideas to our AWS GetIT (Amazon Web Services) Ambassador - Simon - over two classes at the end of March. Simon and Mr Eppel judged the App design ideas and presentations to choose one team to represent Stratford in the AWS GetIT/Junior Achievement competition. It was very exciting! The standard of presentations and design ideas was very high.
Congratulations to Ruby, Emma, Cian and Ianis! We wish them the best of luck with the design for their "Access Search" App. We hope that you will be selected to compete in the AWS National Finals!
We also want to thank Simon who has come to visit us twice for two AWS/Design bootcamps - one back in November and one in early March. In the meantime 1st years have been using the Canvas Learning Management System to learn about collaborative design work through online modules.

The 1st years completed a zombie lab today where they used their scientific methods and thinking to identify patient zero from the zombie suspects. Using measuring skills, pH, observation skills and much more they successfully identified the source of the outbreak!

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
Stratford is celebrating Maths Week 2026 (12th - 18th October) with daily activities around the school, at breaktimes and in Maths classes! The tutor-time daily quiz is proving to be extremely competitive as each form group tries to solve it and then run to find Ms Matthews in order to win the box of chocolates!
