Hedge Planting

We are determined to make our site even greener, and last year our gardeners completed the planting of a native hedge around the perimeter of the Lower School.

Progress continues as we lay a further mixed native hedge along the perimeter of our main field. The native species, hawthorn, dogwood and hazel, crab apple and birch are beneficial for indigenous wildlife and biodiversity as well as providing a pollution barrier.

It is fitting that the chair of the Eco Committee and members of the Junior School Eco Council should plant some of the first saplings under the guidance of our Head Gardener, Brian.

The saplings were originally timed to celebrate our late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee and they will now be a fitting and lasting memorial to Her Late Majesty.
