Pupils from Cranbrook Education Campus (CEC) rolled up their sleeves to plant more than 90 trees across the school grounds this term.
The Eco Team and the Pay It Forward Team came together for the project, working side by side to dig holes, place saplings, and learn about how trees help the environment.
The project not only brightens the school’s outdoor spaces but also encourages pupils to keep taking simple, positive actions that make a real difference. In line with CEC’s belief in caring for the campus and the wider environment, this year’s planting adds to the growing collection of trees already established.
It is the latest project as part of the schools work to encourage environmental awareness and sustainability on campus, after being awarded a prestigious Bronze Award by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) earlier this year.
Part of the Ted Wragg Trust, CEC continues to work toward its goal of having a tree for every student, helping to create a small woodland that reflects the school community and supports local wildlife and wellbeing for years to come.
Stephen Farmer, Head of Campus at Cranbrook Education Campus, said: “Seeing our pupils out on the field with spades in hand, working together and taking real pride in improving their surroundings, is exactly what our school is all about. Their enthusiasm for helping the environment shows the strength of our community and the care our young people have for the world around them.”
