Children of Bladon C of E Primary School recently travelled to the Weald Wood Fair in East Sussex to receive their first prize in the Excellence in forestry awards from the Royal Forestry Society.
The school were awarded the prestigious prize for their work in the OneOak project with the Sylva Foundation during 2009 and 2010. The children, accompanied by their former teacher Mrs Caroyln Thorne (recently retired) and parents, were presented with a cheque of £1000 for their school, a wooden trophy and a framed certificate.
