Some students return to class after school fire

Some students at a school which was destroyed by fire have returned to face-to-face learning again at alternative sites.

The Promise School in Okehampton, Devon, which teaches children with special educational needs, caught fire on 22 February and remains closed for the "immediate future".

Principal Quentin Gunderson said teaching would take place at three sites - Okehampton College, Wardhayes Sixth Form Centre and Okehampton Primary School.

Gunderson said Year 11 students returned to face-to-face learning on Monday and he was confident key stage three and four pupils would follow suit next week.

Gunderson added that he hoped to "bring all the children together in one site in September".

"We've got a lot of work to do," he said.

Investigations into the cause of the fire, which is being treated as accidental, were ongoing, he said.

"It's not salvageable. It will need demolishing and starting again.

"But the opportunity we have is to build an even better school than we had before," he said.
