Tree Planting Begins

We were very excited to receive 345 saplings from the Woodland Trust and planting began in earnest this week by our students. 

The trees will enhance the school’s environment, improving biodiversity and creating a lasting legacy for our students.

Thank you to Dr Jenny Hayward, a plant scientist and ecologist, whose expertise and meticulous planning have been invaluable. Thank you also to all the students who are taking part in this project and showing their dedication to making the school grounds greener and more inviting for generations to come.
