Area Commander Rab Middlemiss is the Local Senior Officer for Highland.

He said: “This has been a very challenging incident, and crews have been working throughout the day in difficult conditions to bring this fire under control.

“We have attempted to surround the fire as much as possible, tackling the flames from outside and inside the building, to try and prevent further damage.

“The damage to the school is significant, however we will remain in attendance for as long as it takes to ensure this fire is fully extinguished.

“I would urge members of the public to stay clear of the area to allow access for the emergency services.”

The incident is ongoing and the investigation is yet to commence, however the cause is not through to be suspicious at this time.
