Officials have described the impact of the blaze as “limited” and said pupils should attend the school as usual on Monday.

A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) spokeswoman said: “It was a fire in an outbuilding at the school.

“There have been no casualties.

“Firefighters were involved in cutting away and ventilating.”

It is understood that gas and electricity providers also attended.

The incident is believed to have affected the canteen area.

Glasgow City Council confirmed that the building involved was an annex at Scotstoun Primary, with the rest of the school unaffected.

Describing the impact as “reasonably limited”, a spokesman for the local authority said: “The school will open on Monday. Children should attend as normal.”
