Police probe claims of racist abuse by pupils at Orthodox Jewish school in Edgware
Officers attended Menorah Foundation school after 'racist and sexual' language was directed at a PE teacher.
Police are investigating allegations of racist abuse at a private Orthodox Jewish school in Edgware.
It is alleged that “racist and sexual” language was directed at a PE teacher at Menorah Foundation by students at the neighbouring Menorah Grammar school.
A police spokesperson confirmed: On Tuesday 20 June, police received a report of racist and sexual comments made by pupils at a school in Abbots Road, Edgware. These allegations are being investigated. Enquiries continue.”
Menorah Grammar, which charges up to £48,000 a year and has nearly 300 male students between the ages of 11 and 21, refused to comment. Menorah Foundation is yet to respond to a request for comment.
In March 2020 Menorah Grammar was downgraded to ‘inadequate’ by Ofsted, which labelled the school ‘unhygienic and unsafe’ in a damning report, which also warned pupils were ‘at risk of harm’. Ofsted again deemed the school to be ‘inadequate’ in November 2022.
