Christa Haslam from Tealby School told Lincolnshire Reporter: “Last night our minibus was taken from the school drive. The police were informed.
“This morning a dog walker phoned the school and informed us that it had been burnt out and left in a field.
“Obviously the whole school community is very shocked and upset by the theft of the vehicle. The children are very upset, as it is going to have an impact on the whole school.
“We use the minibus for a variety of activities including; getting to PE lessons, Forest School and School trips.
“The school PTFA have raised the funds for the minibus and therefore the children feel ownership of it and feel like they have personally had something taken from them. They are very sad to be missing out on exciting learning experiences.”
A terrible, thoughtless act. What sort of person commits such a crime against our children? https://t.co/LFTxnIj8ev

Excitement is building as Taco Bell will open the first of their two new Lincoln restaurants next month, with the second to follow within a matter of a weeks.
The Lincolnite understands the uphill Taco Bell is set to open on August 17, with the chain’s second Lincoln branch – on the High Street – opening around three weeks later.
Taylor Lindsey was granted planning permission in February this year to turn the former Pizza Hut on Nettleham Road into a drive-thru version of the Mexican-inspired fast food chain, which will open daily between 11am to 11pm.

In a planning statement, Taco Bell previously said the restaurant will create 25 full-time and 30 part-time jobs.
The second Taco Bell will open in the unit formerly occupied by Everest Xpress Nepalese and Indian takeaway on lower High Street, which has since relocated.
The planning application for the second Taco Bell restaurant, submitted to City of Lincoln Council by Raja Adil of Lionacre Properties, was given the green light in March this year.
There are two Taco Bells in Lincolnshire at the moment, in Cleethorpes and Scunthorpe.
The No. XIII Squadron at RAF Waddington has been presented with a new Squadron Standard, which is only the third in its 106 year history.
The Squadron Standard is a flag with the Squadron badge and battle honours listed upon it. Squadron Standards were introduced in 1943 to mark the 25th anniversary of the Royal Air Force.
The XIII Squadron (the Stabbed Cats) has a motto of “We assist by watching” and has a history dating back to 1915. The Squadron in its current guise stood up as the first UK based Reaper Squadron in 2012, with its first operational mission in April 2013.
The Squadron provides real-time surveillance and reconnaissance in support of frontline troops.
