A block, which housed four Grade 2 classrooms, a literacy centre/library and a physical education room was gutted.
The Jamaica Fire Brigade (JFB) was alerted to the blaze about 10:40 P.M.

She remains hopeful that the classrooms will be rebuilt by the re-opening of school in September.
Meanwhile, she said the fire has not affected plans for its graduation ceremony.
