The scene has got a lot calmer. Most of the emergency vehicles lining the common have now left.

More than a dozen firefighters walked away from the school entrance removing their uniforms and heading back to their vehicles.

However, there is still a very wide police cordon in place around the road leading to the school entrance.

We understand most of the children have left the school, but we have seen a young girl just leaving looking visibly distressed.

The Study Prep is private, fee paying primary school for girls, founded in 1893.

It is located in Wimbledon Village, on the edge of the Common and just one mile from the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club where the annual tennis championship is taking place.
