Use school grounds over the summer holidays but treat them with respect.
That is the plea from Minister for Education and Children, Tim Crookall, after the schools broke up for the summer holidays on Friday.
Mr Crookall says it's a shame vandalism occurs, but the facilities must be available:
Police to host 'community evening' for residents impacted by Cornaa Beach incident
Officers will be on hand to provide 'reassurance and support'
Almost £150,000 of food wasted in schools each year
Around five percent of school meals budget thrown away

The Island’s population has risen to 84,523 - its highest on record - but with only 454 more residents since the 2021 Census, growth remains well below the pace needed to meet government targets.
