A BOARDING school in Malvern will today hold a meeting to decide where lessons should be taught following the arson attack on its classrooms.

Friday's fire at Abbey International College, Wells Road, caused up to £250,000 damage when four classrooms were completely destroyed and two others were left unusable.

A police spokesman said investigations are ongoing.

Philip Moere, college principal, said the classrooms would have been used to teach the summer courses, which begin today.

"We are OK for the next few weeks because we have only a small number of pupils starting - it is July which is our busy period.

"We will be having a meeting this morning to decide about the classrooms and hopefully we will have something concrete by the end of the week."

Yesterday, around two dozen overseas students arrived at the college to start their courses.

A further 300 others are expected to enrol over the summer.

The college has already begun a review of it security arrangements with CCTV cameras and reinforced gates among the measures they are considering.
