“The plants had 12 inch think trunks, so offenders would have needed tools and a large vehicle or trailer to transport them away,” the spokesperson said.
In a statement on Facebook a spokesperson for the school said the theft was “upsetting”.
“Again, our beautiful school has been the target of senseless thieves,” the spokesperson said.
“Someone has helped themselves to a number of plants from our garden, including our gorgeous Black Boy plants which were planted… near the staff car park.
