Story
Over the school holidays Greenbank School in Hartford has had a significant amount of criminal damage done by 2 boys and a girl around age 16- the culprits were seen by a few staff members on our roof just before the damage was found.
9 skylights have been smashed (all secured now) which will all need to be replaced and all of the electrics beneath them will need replacing. We are looking at around £10,000 worth of damage (and we have just been informed that it isn't covered by our insurance unfortunately!)
We are a small special educational needs (SEN) school and this just means less money to spend on our students, which is disheartening for everyone here- when we all work hard to get the best for our students here.
Who ever did this lost their bike - we found it fallen through one of the skylights as you'll see in the pictures! The police have taken it away for DNA testing.
Please stay vigilent when out and about in our lovely town, if you see or hear anything suspicious as you pass us (or any other schools) please contact the police, especially if the school is empty. I am hoping that this post will make everyone keep an eye out and prevent any more damage to any other community buildings, as well as make anyone who might think to do something like this think twice, as I'd like to believe that if the true cost of this would have been known then it would never have happened.

A shame a school has to resort to crowd funding to have necessary repairs but I hope you get the funds you need.
