"Can all parents collect their children from the loop as soon as possible, access along the back lanes," it said in the statement.
"Please be patient as it may take some time to collect due to roads closed."
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service initially sent two crews from Cheddar to the school.
Another four crews from Burnham-on-Sea and Wells were requested, and firefighters stripped the school's roof tiles to gain access to the fire and begin extinguishing it.
