Surely a burnt-down school will get fixed?

But cuts have put paid to that. An electrical fault at Campsmount Technology College in Doncaster, south Yorkshire last December triggered an inferno that wiped out everything but the sports hall and one block of classrooms. Since then, pupils have been learning in temporary classrooms that are costing £25,000 a week. The cost is being met through an insurance claim. The school, which became a foundation school in 2009 and has declared an interest in becoming an academy , has made good use of technology such as YouTube to keep pupils and parents up to date. But this week it learned that cuts to Building Schools for the Future (BSF) – Labour's mass rebuilding programme for the country's schools – mean no money is available for rebuilding. The coalition government has suspended or stopped rebuilding plans at 715 schools, including Campsmount. Andy Sprakes, the headteacher, says the news has come as a big blow, but he is still hopeful he will receive government funds for a new school. "It's not so much Building Schools for the Future for us, as Building Schools for Right Now," he says. "Even though BSF has finished, I don't think any government in their right mind would leave a school that had been burnt to the ground."
