Pictures and story from the EDP

The criminals broke through the fence of the Hall School in Old Catton and then removed 10 wheels from three minibuses - which the school had spent years raising tens of thousands of pounds for.

Not only did the criminals steal the wheels, using blocks of wood from a tree which had fallen in the playground during last week’s storm to jack them up, they also smashed the windows.

The school caters for 80 students aged between three and 19, with severe learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders, behavioural, emotional and social difficulties and profound and multiple learning difficulties.

And head teacher keith Mckenzie said the damage which had been done - including to a Variety minibus and one which was match-funded by The Lord Taverners just two years ago - was “devastating”.
