Thieves are believed to have targeted the computer rooms of the SEN school in Neave Crescent.
Thieves broke into a special educational needs school in Harold Hill and stolen thousands of pounds worth of computers and TVs.
Ravensbourne School in Neave Crescent called police at 5.40am this morning to report the burglary.
CCTV footage shows that the thieves smashed a window to get into the school, in the early hours of yesterday (Sunday, September 16) morning.
All dressed in black, with balaclavas, the thieves stole a TV from the school reception, computers, ipods and other technology that the children used on a daily basis.
Doors within the school were also damaged, and the school is closed to pupils for today so that repairs can take place.
Principal Vicki Fackler said that it will be open as usual tomorrow (Tuesday, September 18).
