Head of School at Cuddington Community Primary, Mr Lee Herdman, planting trees​

Head of the school Lee Herdman said: "We are very grateful to the Woodland Trust for providing the trees to further enhance our school environment.

"We are very proud of the extensive outdoor space our school offers our children and the learning opportunities this presents them."

The Woodland Trust’s free tree packs come in eight different themes and can be used to attract wildlife, offer year-round cover or grow fruit for baking, cooking or making drinks. Schools can choose a number of different pack sizes - ranging from 30 trees for a small copse, to 420 for an area equivalent to an international football pitch.
