 As the building was completely destroyed, and an investigation had to be undertaken by police and the fire brigade, the school was forced to remain closed, adding an extra two weeks onto the six-week summer holiday.The blocks that were destroyed were replaced with temporary classrooms on the other side of the playing field (known as "the village").This led to problems, such as the need for travelling time between lessons, to enable pupils to walk the from the main site to the 'village' without missing education time and also that the government has to pay the land owners to use the land.
