A HEADTEACHER appealed for information yesterday after her village primary school was attacked.

Vandals smashed 23 window panes and one window frame over the course of two nights at Ramshaw Primary School, near Barnard Castle, causing more than £1,000 of damage.

Janet Grainger, head of the 55-pupil school, said: "It is really devastating for us to suffer such serious damage, as repairs will take a lot of money that would have been used on books and teaching material."

On the first raid, 21 windows were smashed. They had just been repaired when the second attack came.

A police spokesman said anyone with information about the vandals should contact them on 0845 60 60 365.
