Police close investigation into alleged racism by pupils at Orthodox Jewish school

Police have closed an inquiry into allegations of verbal abuse by pupils from a Strictly Orthodox Jewish secondary school.

Students from the independent Menorah Grammar School in Edgware allegedly shouted abuse at pupils and staff from the neighbouring Menorah Foundation School (MFS), a state-aided primary.

An email, which was written by Menorah Grammar’s safeguarding lead after the incident in June, said that a hate crime had been reported to police by the head of MFS.

But this week the police confirmed that the case was closed late last month.
