Teenager jailed for role in burglaries


A TEENAGER has been jailed for his part in burglaries in Ec- cles and Fawkham. Thomas Munday (19), for-


merly of Greenfield Close, Ec- cles, used a cast-iron pig trough to smash the window of a home in Fawkham. Items including computer and electrical equip- ment and jewellery, valued at around £9,000, were said to have been stolen from the property. A house in Bull Lane, Eccles,


was also broken into, awindow smashed and £500 worth of property stolen. An officer saw Munday and two others leaving a nearby field shortly after the burglary and when they were later arrested, shards of glass from the broken window were found in Munday’s T-shirt. Munday was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail, 22


months for the Fawkham break- in and eight months for the of- fence in Eccles, both of which occurred last summer.Asecond man charged in connection with the burglary in Eccles was sentenced to 120 days in prison. Detective Inspector Susie Harper said: “Burglary is a des- picable and invasive crime that leaves victims feeling violated and disgusted. In this particular case the offender simply used brute force to cause damage and enter the properties. At the house in Fawkham the burglary was discovered by the family’s 16-year-old son. “The whole family was quite understandably very distressed by the experience. We are all delighted to see Munday and a number of other burglars where they belong – prison.”


Trees bring colour to Kings Hill SIX mature acer trees have been hoisted into place near Kings Hill’s art deco Control Towerwhich is undergoing refurbishment. The 7m high trees were


chosen from Hillier Nurs- eries, who supplied many of the trees for the London 2012 Olympic Park. Acranewas used to help


plant the Norway maples which change leaf colour three times during the year. Susan Davies, of Kings


Hill developer Liberty Prop- erty Trust, said: “The contrast in the leaf colour is stunning, and the trees will lookwonderful against thewhite of the Control Tower’s exterior.” Thousands of trees have been planted on the former airfield over the


years, with somemoved to different locations if theywere growing in an area later earmarked for development. Last year, fivemature treeswere moved half a mile for replanting.


Pupils ‘feel happy and safe’


CASH & CARRY Selection of pots


ST KATHERINE’S School in Snodland is providing a good service across the board, ac- cording to Ofsted inspectors. The primary school achieved


a level 2 rating in all areas, in- cluding teaching, achievement, behaviour and management. Pupils’workatthe endof


year 6 was well above the na- tional average in reading, writ- ing and maths, teaching was good, and pupils made good progress throughout their time at the school. Disabled pupils and those


with special educational needs made similar progress to other pupils.


Children had good attitudes


to learning and enjoyed coming to school, resulting in above av-


erage attendance. Behaviour was good, and pupils felt safe, with no con- cerns about bullying or discrim- ination.


Leadership and management


was found to be good, and the governing body had clear plans for improving its effectiveness. To achieve an outstanding rat-


ing, the school needs to raise the standard of teaching, with clear lesson plans. Middle managers should have


more opportunity to monitor teaching so they can help im- prove it.


Relationships with most par-


ents were good, but a minority of parents needed to be reas- sured about the changes taking place in the school.


Longer jail term for shoplifter


NATHAN Boyce (23), of Ewell Avenue, West Malling, was jailed for 90 days by Mid Kent Magistrrates after he admitted shoplifting. Boyce, who stole two phones worth £220 from a supermarket


in Larkfield, on March 28, was sentenced to seven days in jail, but as he had a previously-imposed suspended sentence, the overall term was increased to 90 days.
