The London Fire Brigade and London Ambulance service both said they were "supporting" the police at the scene.
The school declined to comment.
Local MP Stephen Hammond told BBC Radio London: "It's obviously extremely distressing and extremely concerning.
"There are a number of casualties, I'm not clear how many. I know the area well, obviously.
"The area is really quite remote, but actually it's a road that has quite a number of people that drive up and down it to the golf clubs."
He added that the road is very narrow and drivers often have to wait to let each pass at pinch points.
It comes as the borough is currently hosting to the world-famous tennis championship that bears its name.
The event is on its third day, which will see two-time champ Andy Murray take on Greek sensation Stefanos Tsitsipas at 1.30pm.
