School reopens after fire

A school in Scunthorpe reopens on Monday after being badly damaged by fire.

The fire broke out on the evening of Monday 15 September at Priory Lane primary school which has about 260 pupils.

Several classrooms were damaged by smoke and the roof of the main hall collapsed.

Children and parents have been helping with the clearing-up operation.

As a result, the school can now reopen, although year six pupils will be taught at the Riddings School in Scunthorpe.

The loss of the main hall means dinners will have to be eaten elsewhere in the school.

An investigation into the cause of the fire is still going on but an arson attack is suspected.
