Chasetown Community School to open again after attacks
A school targeted by vandals three times in as many weeks is set to fully re-open on Monday after carrying out security improvements.
Chasetown Community School shut its doors on Tuesday after raiders stole computer tablets and money raised for this years poppy appeal from inside the Church Street building after forcing entry.
The school re-opened to Key Stage Three pupils on Thursday and will re-open to Key Stage Two pupils on Monday after carrying out security work, including the installation of high-security doors donated by Birmingham business Warrior Doors.

The company is also manufacturing a number of security cabinets to keep the pupils' technology equipment safe.
Brett Barratt, managing director, said: "I was sickened when I was told that the school had been broken into three times in just a few weeks and I wanted to do something to help them."
Steven Norman, chair of governors at Chasetown Community School, said: "This is an amazingly generous offer by Warrior Doors. "We were worrying about how we were going to afford the much-needed improvements our school needs.
"Christmas has come early for us."
