PUPILS at a school which suffered severe fire damage have been relocated.

Schoolchildren of Bishop John Robinson Church of England Primary School in Thamesmead will now study at Discovery School in Battery Road.

Year 5 and 6 pupils will start at the new school on November 6. Shuttle buses on these two days will leave the school at 8.30am and return at 3.30pm.

Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 will start on November 10.

Reception and nursery children will start on November 13.

Transport will be available to shuttle the children to Discovery School from outside Bishop John Robinson but parents have been told they are welcome to organise their own transport.

Headteacher, Andrew Redman, said: "Once again I wish to thank you for your support and prayers at this difficult time.

"I am sure that we can pull together as a school community and continue onwards and upwards."

More than 40 fire fighters and eight fire engines took 15 hours to put out the blaze at the school in Hoveton Road.

The first fire crews were at the scene at about 7.10pm on October 31.

Two youths aged 15 and 14 have been arrested in connection with the fire and are currently being held at a south London police station.

Anyone with information should call Greenwich CID on 020 8284 9445 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

A Parents Meeting will be held at St Pauls Church, in Bentham Road, Thamesmead tomorrow (Nov4) at 4pm.
