A spokesperson said: “The fire at SS Simon & Jude came as a shock to everyone and we know that parents will be understandably concerned about their children's education. “The school, Academy Trust, council and the Department for Education have been working around the clock to identify an alternative site while minimising disruption for pupils.” They said that all partners were ‘in full agreement that the priority is to have face-to-face teaching as quickly as possible’, and to keep pupils within their local community.
