On Thursday, March 13th, students from St Edmund’s took part in a meaningful environmental initiative, joining a Woodland Trust Project to plant 300 tree saplings at Little Kinvaston School. This project is part of a larger effort to expand native woodlands and create tree-rich habitats that will benefit nature, the climate, and local communities. 

Little Kinvaston School, an independent alternative provision school in South Staffordshire, opened in September 2024. It provides support for young people facing Social, Emotional, and Mental Health challenges or those at risk of permanent exclusion from mainstream education. It is a developing ‘Forest’ School and also houses a number of rescue animals. 

By participating in this project, St Edmund’s students not only contributed to a greener future but also had the opportunity to engage in a hands-on, impactful experience that supports both environmental sustainability and the well-being of their peers.
