(Jewish News) A north London Iranian school where children were filmed allegedly being encouraged to use antisemitic Islamist chants in the playground has been served with a closure notice, Jewish News can reveal.
The Department for Education has confirmed it has issued the School of the Islamic Republic of Iran with a deregistration notice, adding: “The safety and education of our children and young people is paramount.”
The independent school for boys and girls aged six-to-16, located in Queens Park in the borough of Brent, is appealing the decision.
But a follow-up inspection by Ofsted inspectors, the results of which have just been published, has once again rated standards at the institution as “inadequate.”
