Well, I do stand by my point that sometimes academies can be seen to spend money that does not directly impact the education of children., removing trees or bushes is one such thing. Maybe they intend to replace them with something far superior but this is all money that could be spent elsewhere that actually benefits learning.
edit: of course if they have been removed because they contain poisonous berries that may result in the death of a child I bow my head and apologise.
