A selective school has responded to students protests over complaints about racist language used by their peers.
More than 800 students from Dame Alice Owens school walked out of lessons in protest on May 7, after children and parents reported several incidents of racist language and graffiti.
One of the children’s parents, who asked to remain anonymous, said they hope the protests will help force change at the selective school in Potter s Bar, which takes pupils who live and study in Islington, where it was founded in 1613.
“I think the protests helped the school take on board some of the problems they have to deal with,” they said.
