Officers have today revealed they have arrested a 14-year-old boy, 13-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy on suspicion of two counts of burglary.

The news follows the arrest of another child, a 14-year-old boy, yesterday. He has been released today on police bail until March 25.

Distraught staff at the school have since launched a crowdfunding bid to help pay for the repairs.

In a matter of hours after the plea was shared online yesterday, kindhearted people had donated almost £2,000.
