Aberdeen school closed after fire
Harlaw Academy's closed to pupils today because of a malicious fire.
Harlaw Academy's being deep cleaned, after an arson attack at the week.
The fire service was called to the Aberdeen secondary school early on Saturday.
It took them several hours to put out the blaze.
It's closed to pupils today, although there is limited access for staff.
Specialists will be assessing the damage today, and we'll find out later if the school will be open tomorrow.
Local councillor Martin Greig said: "Damage to the school is bad enough but it is deeply worrying to think that the harm was deliberate. The education budget is already under huge pressure and this extra cost to repair the property is entirely unwelcome. It is not fair that everyone else will have to pay for the this devastating misconduct.
"A school means so much to pupils and the community because these are places where young people develop their talents and opportunities. The buildings deserve special care and attention. Anyone with useful information on the wrongdoers should report this to the police or confidentially to the independent charity Crimestoppers. I hope people can provide details that will help to track down the offenders. The disruption to school life is appalling."
