Brenda the buzzard terrorises children at Havering primary school

Pupils told to play indoors because of attacks by bird of prey, which follow strikes by hawk near Luton

A buzzard called Brenda has been terrorising a 300-year-old primary school on the outskirts of London, sending children running for cover while neighbours have been dive-bombed as they put out the bins.

Pupils at Dame Tipping Church of England primary school in the village of Havering-atte-Bower, in the London borough of Havering, have been told they cannot play outside while the bird remains a threat.
