Headmaster Richard Jones says pupils will repair and carry on with conservation work along a stream despite vandalism.

Police are still appealing for information after young trees and shrubs were hacked down along the banks of Shovel Brook, East Hagbourne.

Insp Ian Beckett, of Didcot police, said nine teenagers - boys and girls - were seen near the stream where a field footpath links East and West Hagbourne. The damage is believed to have happened during the afternoon of Saturday, June 17, when a noticeboard was also damaged.

Mr Jones, headmaster of Hagbourne Primary School, said the pupils "were appalled and saddened" by the damage.
