This is just bad statistics. School massacres are somewhat uncommon. If you look at a history of mass killings at schools in the UK then you'll see that the expected amount of time between them is actually longer than the time since the most recent large shooting, Dunblane, and today. Which means that we have no clue whether or not gun control has "worked" to prevent such things or not.
