Staff are devastated at a Glasgow school after vandals broke into the building and caused £10k of damage.

Employees were shocked when the security alarm went off at Keppoch Campus in Possilpark in the early hours of Monday, September 30 and again the following morning.

The two break-ins at the site - which houses two primaries, a nursery, an ASL school and a charity - caused an estimated £10,000 of damage.

Th damage included 12 broken computers, a broken wheelchair, smashed trophies and windows and more.

Alison McGill is the headteacher of Saracen Primary School- which is based in the building.

She said: "It's nothing we've ever known to happen at the campus before.

"And it's very disheartening, particularly in light of the restricted council budgets we have.

"We simply don't have the funds to replace what's being destroyed.

"Every establishment works tirelessly to create an environment in which children can be nurtured and provided with the very best quality learning and teaching experiences.

"It's distressing that our community has been affected like this."

The headteacher added: "It has been a testing time. We've had to put resources that are limited already towards boarding the windows and the clean-up, ensuring that everything is where it needs to be.

"We had a child who is a wheelchair user who wasn't able to use his wheelchair until we ensured that it was properly checked.

"Trophies have been broken and rooms have been ransacked.

"It's been very upsetting for the staff but we've really pulled together to ensure that the learning was constant for the children.

"It seems to be mindless acts of vandalism as opposed to things being stolen."

Despite this, she said, it has been exemplary how the community has reacted to the crimes.

Alison added: "It's a fantastic, vibrant community and it's an area of very high deprivation.

"The behaviour of the school and the support of the families is second to none and the fact that someone has chosen to target this school, that is so well thought of in the community, is very disheartening."

Police officers were called to the scene and the force is investigating the incidents.

Councillor Christina Cannon said: “The actions of these mindless vandals are disrespectful to the children, staff and families and they have no clue the impact that it has on the school community.

“I would urge anyone with any information on the break-ins to contact the police or if they see any unusual activity in the school and grounds out with the school day.”
