Congratulations to Joshua, Mia, Ross, Alex, Shane and Finn who all reached the Bebras Computational Thinking National Finals held in Maynooth University on 11th May. The finals kicked off this year's Tech Week.
Approximately 6000 students competed in the Bebras Challenge during EU Code Week in November 2018 and of those, approximately a small percentage of those students were invited to compete in the National Finals.
The Bebras Challenge involves a 45 minute online test of 15 problems to solve. The problems are all grounded in computer science and computational thinking - breaking problems down into smaller parts. Try them yourself!
Well done everyone, a very proud achievement for Stratford.

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!
