You’d be surprised how quickly a native hedge will grow. Will have missed the boat for bare root this year. But I’d go mixed native: Holly, hornbeam, beech purple/green, hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel, field maple, Dog Rose, Wild privet. All year interest mix of evergreen, deciduous and wildlife friendly.

That's a perfectly good mix, but judging by the panels the span is about 9m. The presence of the Spacehopper indicates kids, so it my be wise to lose the dog rose, blackthorn and hawthorn. The remaining varieties would be more than enough, leaving kids and Spacehopper unpunched.

Surely the kids will learn?

I like the idea of the native hedge mix which has evergreen elements to it. I think that's probably going to be the best for wildlife as well.
