The pool at Southover School could not be used on Monday after vandals broke in and damaged the area, headteacher Noel Fadden confirmed.

“It was so saddening to have to close the pool this morning and disappoint the children but thanks to the hard work of the caretaker, the pool should be back in normal operation by tomorrow.”
The incident has been reported to the police.
