Vandals!!!!!
It makes me so cross. St Mary's school has an outdoor classroom near the stream. Each class goes out for sessions each week during each season to learn about nature. They have 5 benches for the children to sit on whilst they're out there so that they can have a lesson. Well, they HAD 5 benches, some idiots burned three of them to the ground a week or so ago!!!!
This is not the first time that it has happened. I recall writing a very similar post about two years ago! I just can't understand why the mindless idiots destroy something which is so special to so many young people. |
Re: Vandals!!!!!
agree it sad, easy to understand to me though- No Deterant.:( so its cos they can.:rolleyes:
|
Re: Vandals!!!!!
What were the benches made of?
It might be a good idea for them to replace them with metal ones if they are going to be replaced. They can only damage the paint then. |
Re: Vandals!!!!!
Terrible.
I'd like to find out who they are and burn all their stuff on a big bonfire. :( |

As for wanting to be green and eco friendly, steel is one of the easiest materials to recycle. |
Re: Vandals!!!!!
It's just cost now, don't think the school can afford it and the pta are fed up with having to replace them
|
Re: Vandals!!!!!
How much are the metal ones? Not sure where is best to buy that sort of stuff from.
|
Re: Vandals!!!!!
Would this type be ok
Cheshire Bench http://www.playandleisure.org.uk/ima...hire_bench.jpg or do they need a back like this Oxford Bench http://www.playandleisure.org.uk/ima...ford_bench.jpg |
Re: Vandals!!!!!
Probably the top one would be ok. It's not in keeping with the nature area but if it's indestructable it's the best option. I'll check out how much they cost.
Thanks for finding them Neil. |

I am sure they will do them in green. I am still waiting for that email regarding updated costs from them. I will ask about the price of those as well if you like. Looks like you sit them it concrete and you could place them in a semi circle or whatever you fancied. If you do ring them ask for Jeff and remind him I am waiting for his requote :D It would be a good idea to ask Andrew about the best place to get them price wise |
Re: Vandals!!!!!
If it's metal the 'travellers' will take it.
I brought one with me when I moved here and it lasted less than a year |
Re: Vandals!!!!!
Maybe precast concrete is the way to go
|
Re: Vandals!!!!!
Sorry forgot to say "with wooden slats"

Re: Vandals!!!!!
Stackable plastic chairs/stools stored indoors sounds the cheapest replacement to me
PS-an afterthought - the teachers would have to stand up when they go outside for a fag break - not acceptable:rolleyes: |

Re: Vandals!!!!!
Nobody is allowed to smoke within school premises now and that includes the playground.

Its a while since I went down there but I thought they had some cut down trees as seats - or am i loosing it :D |
Re: Vandals!!!!!
They were burned about two years ago and replaced with the recycled ones.
Yes, the outdoor classroom isn't directly outside the school, it's within the grounds but it's along a small path, across the bridge over the stream and then a little further to walk. That's one of the reasons why it gets attacked - because it's so far out of the way. It's a good place for teenagers to congregate in the evenings. |
