Commenting as the government launches an independent review into antisemitism in schools and colleges in England, Paul Whiteman, general secretary of school leaders’ union NAHT, said:

“All pupils deserve to feel safe in school and like they can belong and thrive. There is no place for any kind of prejudice, and it is very concerning that there has been a rise in antisemitic incidents. School leaders will welcome any support in tackling this issue and look forward to working with the Review.”
