Part of a classroom in a single-storey block was damaged by the fire. 

Around 1400 children and staff left the building before the Brigade arrived and there were no reports of any injuries.

Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters were called to the scene at 9:04am on 31 October.

The Brigade had the fire under control by 10:52am.

The LFB said: "Thankfully no one was hurt in the incident, with the school and pupils safely evacuated."

Fire crews from Heston and Feltham fire stations attended the scene.
