I have to admit to smiling at some of the more innocent comments below the YouTube videos along the lines of "wahey, no school next week", because I dare say at that age that would have been exactly my own response.
Actually I remember the winter when I was in first year senior school (1972). Three day weeks, on the weeks we went in at all, because the miners' strikes caused fuel shortages. We were over the moon. :)
The local paper has put an item in about the fire. According to that the library/IT suite and music rooms were undamaged. Much better news than I expected. Still not good, but not as bad as initially reported.
