    A burglary in the early hours of Monday prevented the reopening of a Teesside school.

    Outwood Academy, a secondary school at Normanby, was due to welcome back pupils after the summer holidays this morning.

    But a statement on the school’s social media feed simply told pupils and staff not to attend due to “unforeseen circumstances”.

    A subsequent statement from Cleveland Police revealed a break-in had occurred overnight.

    "It is not yet known what has been stolen from the school."

    The school has confirmed it will reopen on Tuesday.
