Over the last few years while developing our Student Parent Charter here at Stratford we have hosted discussions on proposed legislation and worked with our Parents Association to conduct a survey on school communications.
For 2020 we recently surveyed our Parents/Guardians, Staff and Students about their experiences in Stratford and would like to share some highlights with you:
Participants expressed complete satisfaction (100%) in the following areas:
Also ranking in the high percentiles (75%) and above is that students’ social and personal development is helped, students are treated fairly and respectfully in school, and that the school deals effectively and promptly with bullying. Good access to IT facilities was also highlighted.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the survey. As with any survey, responses indicate some areas for improvement and this has been noted. We will keep in touch with you on this important Charter as it develops.

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.
