More than 1,400 pupils at a fire-hit secondary school in Dunfermline are yet to learn their return date as officials reveal that no part of the building was left untouched by a huge blaze.
More than 80 firefighters were called to battle an inferno that gripped Woodmill High School at around 5pm on Sunday, August 25.
Fife Council say that there are no classroom facilities that would enable the building to be used in the “short to medium-term” as a result of the blaze.
Carrie Lindsay, executive director of education and children's services, said: "We're working flat out to investigate the feasibility of a range of options for our pupils.
"There are lots of things to take into account, such as pupil numbers, available spaces, timetabling across year groups and transport.
"We've had lots of offers of help, all of which we're grateful for, and all of which are being explored to find the best possible solutions.
"I hope to be able to give parents and our young people some more information about short-term arrangements tomorrow.”
Ms Lindsay added that staff are meeting at a nearby school each day and putting together homework packages which pupils can access on the school website.
Some practical sessions for senior pupils are being moved to community facilities.
The school, which was opened in 1958, has a roll of 1,403 pupils.
Early investigations have revealed that the additional support department, which opened in 2007, suffered the most damage along with dining hall.
Ms Lindsay said: "No part of the building is left untouched by the fire.
"The wing containing the assembly hall, sports halls and the technical block is the least damaged, but there are no classroom facilities that will enable us to re-open the school in the short to medium-term.”
A 14-year-old boy was arrested in connection with the fire, which is being treated as suspicious.
