Braddan Primary School

School grounds could be closed over the summer holidays after vandals struck at one of the Island's primary schools.

The Department of Education and Children says further incidents will result in it reconsidering the current policy.

On Tuesday, playground furniture was thrown around the yard at Braddan School and a storage shed broken into.

The Department is still evaluating the cost of the damage, but says it will insist on prosecution if the culprit is caught.

Anyone with information on Tuesday's incident can contact Braddan Police Station.
