Special school 'bowled over' by support after 'arsonist' destroys 'integral' storage unit
Special school staff have been ‘bowled over’ by an ‘outpouring’ of support after a vandal ruined a forest school storage unit.
However, in the face of destruction, the Offerton community has come together to help Castle Hill, with more than £6,000 collected via an online fundraiser. Residents have also donated old wellies and coats to get students back to forest school.“As a school for children with special needs they get so much from being in a multi-sensory environment,” said John Hadley, a teacher at Castle Hill. “We have been back in for a week and we have been overwhelmed with the support.
John, who has worked at the school for six years, added that the container is now ‘an eyesore’. The 38-year-old went on: “We don’t want to alarm any families who think the school is unsafe. What was damaged was a container on the grounds. Someone came in and set fire to it.”
