Bradford primary school damaged in suspected arson

    A Bradford primary school was closed yesterday, 21 June, after damage caused by a fire that is being treated as an act of suspected arson.

    A storage area on the site of Horton Park Primary School in Canterbury was destroyed by the blaze.

    Fire crews were called out to the school at 11.44pm on Tuesday night, 20 June.

    They found that a storage building behind the school had been completely engulfed by flames.

    Windows in the main school building were also damaged by the fire. The building suffered some further damage as fire crews exposed the roof to water to ensure the fire did not spread.

    An investigation into the cause is on-going.
