Rebuilding programme to start on fire-wrecked school
A Doncaster school which was brought to the ground in a huge fire nearly a year ago is now set to rise again from the ashes, with building work to start in February 2011.
Wates Construction is the contractor selected to carry out the 12-month building programme on the school next year with the planning application due to be submitted soon.
The fire was caused by an electrical fault forcing the school to finish its term early before the Christmas holidays, with pupils continuing their lessons in temporary classrooms since March.
The Mayor of Doncaster, Peter Davies, said:
“To get to this stage so quickly is testament to the work undertaken by the council’s school rebuilding team and the school. This is great news for Campsmount.”
Headteacher at Campsmount Technology College, Andrew Sprakes, said:
“We are delighted that all our hard work has paid off and we are now in a superb position to move forward with the new school building that our students, staff and community so richly deserve.”
The business unit manager at Wates Construction North East, David Price, said:
“The determination in the face of adversity shown by Andrew Sprakes and his team inspired us to design a truly inspirational new learning environment to raise the aspirations and achievements of generations of young people. We look forward to working with the council’s school rebuilding team and the school to turn these visions into reality.”

Great Harwood mill fire being treated as suspicious
It has been revealed by fire chiefs that a huge blaze which devastated a mill in Great Harwood recently is believed to have started in suspicious circumstances.
An arson investigation by Lancashire Police is now underway into the fire at Albert Mill, on St Huberts Street, which involved up to 25 firefighters from Hyndburn, Great Harwood and Blackburn who tackled the flames for over three hours at 8pm on the evening of the 24th of November.
The fire, which was started in a unit of the building, managed to destroy a substantial amount of plastics and packaging before it was eventually put out by fire crews.
A Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said:
“Crews were called to the building in St Huberts Street shortly after 8pm after it was reported the mill was well alight. They are looking at the prospect of it being arson related.
“It was a large fire and a lot of firefighters were needed in order to get close enough proximity to the flames. It was a significant incident which wasn’t helped when the police had to be called because youths were trying to steal equipment. The crews were just trying to get on with their job so that was an annoyance.”
