Firefighters are battling an ongoing blaze at Glasgow Steiner School in Yorkhill.
No fewer than four firetrucks are tackling the fire in Lumdsen Street, and police are also at the scene.
Flames and thick black smoke can be seen pouring from the building's spire.
Firefighters on cranes are dousing the flames from above.
A silver Volkswagen Golf parked beside the school was also badly damaged when the blaze caused tiles to fall off of the building’s roof and onto the vehicle. Watch the video below.
