Roundhay school fire: 11 pictures of damage at derelict school as firefighters tackle blaze

Firefighters have spent the night tackling a blaze at a derelict school in North Leeds.

Our photographer Simon Hulme has been down to the scene where crews are still working this morning. These 11 pictures show the damage to the derelict school - which may now have to be demolished:
