Pupils to return to arson attack Wednesfield school next week
Pupils will next week be able to return to a Wednesfield school that was closed following an arson attack.
St Albans CofE Primary School is expected to reopen for lessons on Monday. Wolverhampton City Council says part of the school will remain closed for repair work following the fire earlier this month.
Councillor Phil Page, education chief, said: "The fact that St Alban's will be open to pupils again less than three weeks after the fire is tremendous news.
"Our number one focus was on ensuring continuity of education for the pupils and thanks to everyone's hard work this has been achieved."
"I'd like to thank West Midlands Fire Service for doing an excellent job in tackling the blaze, which surely prevented the school from suffering much greater damage.
"I'd also like to pay tribute to the local community for rallying around St Alban's in its time of need, it's good to see such amazing gestures of goodwill."
The fire tore through the school on February 5.
