SCHOOL chiefs have warned youngsters never to climb on roofs after two boys cheated death in a 20ft plunge.

Staff at Radcliffe High School revealed their concerns after the BEN revealed David Mclaughlin, aged eight from Westhoughton and 12-year-old Brendan Moore, from Whitefield, fell through a skylight. They escaped with only minor injuries.

A school spokesman said: "It should be noted that trespass onto property and climbing on to buildings is a potentially dangerous activity. We are pleased the boys have not been seriously injured."
