Over the Easter holidays, would be thives and vandals tried to steal the lead from our school roof.

The thieves did not manage to take any of the lead as they were disturbed after a vigilant neighbour alerted the police. However they did cause untold damage to the roof.

The lead they stripped and left behind after fleeing had a value of around £60. The costs of repairs will be nearly £4000. Budgets in the UK are extremely tight at the moment and schools can not afford to spend these sums of money on unneccessary vandalism.

Please help us raise the money needed to make the repairs so our budget can be spent on improving the experience of the children in our school community. Thank you. The children and staff of Kennington Primary School.
