Mindless vandals have destroyed an outdoor classroom space at an Airdrie primary school by setting light to wooden play furniture, smashing bottles and leaving litter and grafitti across the area.
Disappointed pupils at St Andrew’s Primary in Burnfoot have been unable to use the facility at any time during this academic year after “repeated” incidents which have made the woodland space unsafe for their much-loved lessons ranging from animal identification to den building.
They are now making posters asking for the community’s support in helping to monitor and look after the public space; while parents and friends will be taking part in a litter pick this Friday afternoon as they bid to bring the area back into use.
