😢 We are so incredibly saddened to share with you this morning that Gosfield School catering department suffered an extensive burglary over the weekend.
😢 CCTV footage shows that the theft took place on Friday night and early Saturday morning. Items taken include four commercial sized freezers full of food, all of the dry foods in the kitchen and all chilled food taken from our catering refrigerators.
😢 The School is working with Essex Police and a forensics team are due to attend to gather evidence.
😢 Of course this means that we are unable to feed the children of Critical Workers who are attending School today, and the staff who have kindly volunteered to come in and run the skeleton operation to make this work, and we won't be able to feed the children and staff for the foreseeable future. Members of staff have been into Halstead to purchase food early this morning but with restrictions on what they are allowed to purchase this is not straightforward. Therefore we would respectfully request that all children of key workers who are attending School bring along a packed lunch, nut free snacks and a water bottle.
Anyone with any information is encouraged to contact the School on 01787 474040 or Essex Police quoting crime reference number 42-44904-20.
💚 Please do share this post and if anyone can help with restocking contact the school office on the number above

Disgusting. This has really brought out the worst in some people.

Hopefully cctv footage can be found. Disgusting behaviour

Wow. Literally stealing food out of the mouths of children. Some people are utter shits.

I’m actually shocked
They actually took the 4 large freezers? Sounds like a “professional” job, they’re surely intending to sell the food

The authorities need to quickly deal with the feral and criminal underclass who are now running amok. Vandalising an ambulance is probably as low as you can get.

This is also for the vulnerable children from chaotic homes on free school meals who are being looked after.
Where are these people selling this black market food?

I hope the thieves are punished severely. That is absolutely disgusting!

Didn't take long for the f b to get out there did it?

There really is a place in hell reserved for some folk 
food to feed the dc of our nurses, paramedics- the people we need more than ever
Then Yesterday my paramedic friend was telling me someone punctured 6 ambulances tyres at the depot they work at

So even in a crisis some selfish, nasty people are around

Animals behave better. Some people just want to watch the world burn.

Probably to friends.
