A PRIMARY school has been evacuated as a terrifying fire ripped through classrooms.
Smoke was seen billowing out of the Welsh school after the blaze gutted the building.
Pembrokeshire Council said staff and pupils at Manorbier Church in Wales VC School in Tenby are “safe”.
But they asked parents to collect their children following the fire on Monday afternoon.
Pictures on social media show huge plumes of smoke coming from the school building, and sirens can be heard screeching in the area.
A statement from the local council said: “We are aware of a fire at Manorbier School and can confirm that all children and staff are safe.”
It added: “Parents & carers are asked to collect learners from Buttyland Caravan Park using Norchard Lane route as usual route to the school is currently closed.”
Council officials said crews from the fire service are at the scene.
