Fire on primary school’s roof

Two fire crews were called to St Thomas More School in Berkhamsted just before 8pm on Thursday.

They discovered a fire on the roof of the building in Greenway.

The school is currently in the process of replacing the roof during the summer holidays and said the damage was minimal.
