A primary school in London may be forced to close after receiving 'bomb threats' over Islamophobia accusations - after a different school closed early over bomb threats following a 'prayer ban' on the premises.
Barclay Primary School in Leyton, east London, told parents it might have to 'revert to online learning' because it received bomb threats over the headteachers decision to ban students from wearing pro-Palestinian badges.
The school was the site of protests in December after a viral TikTok video claimed an eight-year-old pupil was being bullied by teachers for being Palestinian.
