Beech Tree Planting
On Wednesday 9th February James Rainey, Andrew Hopper and Jessie Totten planted 3 young beech trees in the school grounds, with the aim of improving the local biodiversity over the next few years. A big thank you to them for all their hard work! We look forward to seeing the trees grow, hopefully into large trees one day!
