Congratulations to 1st Year Computer Studies students - Yair, Liam and Giorgi - who made it to the ECO-UNESCO 2026 Young Environmentalist Awards Finals held on 12th May with their Scratch coding project called "Giorgi the Litter Fighter". This is the first time that a Stratford project has made it to the finals - so very impressive work!
Their project competed in the Junior Waste category and the game is to encourage users to pick up litter so that they understand more about how they can reuse some materials and clean the environment along the way.
Thanks too, to the 1st years who came to support them - Kate, Calvin, Roi, Shachar, Hannah, Andrew, Saoirse, Ellen and Leon! We all saw very inspiring projects, danced to Donking during the Awards Prizegiving ceremony and spent a lot of time on the electric bikes. Roi is definitely the king of cycling! Thanks too, to Mr Barrett and Ms Scharov who gave their support to Liam, Yair and Giorgi.
Fantastic work by all the 1st years, where five groups made it to the YEA Eco-dens semi-finals in March.

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!
