VANDALS went on the rampage at a school for disabled youngsters.

Staff at Dame Evelyn Fox School, Roman Road, Blackburn, arrived to find windows and doors smashed, valuable equipment stolen and extensive damage to property.

Headteacher Jane Barrie said: "It's disgusting. You could just weep. This wanton vandalism is very depressing and demoralising for staff, pupils and parents."
