Police officers were called to Corsham Primary School early this morning, after receiving reports that Santa had crashed his sleigh next to the building.
Father Christmas has been described as "plump" and is thought to be wearing red.
Wiltshire Police have said: “The reindeer are known to have run off being chased by Father Christmas, anyone with information please contact the school.”
Corsham Police need as much help as possible in tracing the reindeer – and Father Christmas has even released a press release alongside Mrs Christmas.
He said: “My reindeer and I were doing our fact finding mission over your lovely town and they were pulling the sleigh rather wonderfully, when something went awry with the sleigh’s control system and we ended up crash landing – outside your school as you will have seen by now.
