The cause of the Millais School fire is being investigated as a crime, Sussex Police confirmed this evening (Friday March 21).

This follows extensive examination of the scene in Horsham’s Depot Road by both police officers and members of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service today, which suggests that the blaze was started ‘either deliberately or recklessly’.

The all-girls school was shut today after a fire broke out just before 3pm on Thursday, with all the students and staff evacuated safely after it was discovered.
