The show must go on: how this York school bounced back after a deliberate fire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Former York teacher JOHN FLETCHER recalls his time at Burnholme School in the 1990s I'LL never forget the 'great fire'. No not 1666, but 1993 and right in the middle of a major school production.
