During Friendship Week (21st - 25th October), the 2nd Year students were given Friendship bracelets. Ms. Reynolds explains the purpose of Friendship Week - an annual event in Stratford College.
Our second years proudly show off their Friendship bracelets, being worn to promote awareness of Friendship Week (21st - 25th October). Annually we celebrate this week as a part of our anti-bullying policy, various activities are organised to communicate the importance of belonging to a warm and inclusive class group. Also, twice a year, our form teachers sit down in private with each student to ask them questions regarding the atmosphere and interactions within the class group. The results of this sociogram are used to help identify any brewing problems and to resolve them quickly. This restorative model is non accusatory, and the anti-bullying method that is advocated by the most up-to-date Sociological studies at Trinity College.

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!
