That’s what academies do spend money on things that do not directly relate to the education of the children. 
In fact, in this case, I think it would be detrimental - don’t plants reduce CO2 and a school on a busy road needs to maximise that benefit not reduce it

I think that's the whole point of this thread - highlighting unnecessary and detrimental removal and if it can be avoided

But without knowing why they were removed, I don't see how we can comment.

Does anybody know the reason?

Thanks for your help googling the council responsibilities and being patronising. How lovely of you.

That's certainly cleared up the matter.

 

 I thought Malumbu's post was useful information, given the subject matter of this thread 

I didn't think it was patronising.

Well I think it was very patronising Sue! Is nobody allowed to comment on something they see whilst going about their usual business? It was very upsetting to see the school boundaries being ripped apart.

Thanks @Sue

Here is the comment I responded to:

"let's have blind faith in our council doing the right thing, with the right considerations for environment, for wildlife and for conservation, or let's not and expect them to be transparent and accountable" 

My point is that you need to let people get on with their responsibilities.  That there are qualified people who are experts in their profession. And if you have an issue contact your ward Councilor.  That is the democratic process.

I made not comment about Dog Kennel Hill School.  But if I was unhappy I would complain to them before going on social media.
