More than 60 firefighters are tackling a blaze at a Birmingham primary school.

A fire service spokesman said the roof was on fire at Harborne Primary School, in Station Road.

A spokeswoman for Birmingham City Council said all staff and pupils had been moved to a safe place where parents could collect their children.

She added Station Road, Emerson Road and Wentworth Road had been closed and traffic disruption could be expected in the surrounding area.

The cause of the fire is not yet known.

Parents have been asked to collect children who attend the infants section from St John's church hall and children who attend the juniors section from the Gala Bingo Hall.

Both are in Harborne High Street.

Birmingham City Council said about 630 pupils attend the school.
