A KEIGHLEY primary school will be closed today after an electrical fire damaged the building’s water and electricity supply.

Fire crews from Bingley and Keighley spent three hours dealing with the fire at St Anne’s Catholic Primary School in North Street in the town centre last night.

The fire started shortly after 5pm, and firefighters were at the scene until the early evening.

A fire service spokesman said the fire was “quite substantial"” and that the room the blaze started in had been badly fire and smoke damaged.

Work was continuing last night to isolate the electrical supply.

A message on the school’s website said: “A small electrical fire occurred in a store room at the school this evening and has damaged the electric and water supplies to the school.

We expect to open as normal on June 1.”

Today was the last school day before the half term holidays.
