Protesters gathered outside the school, which is rated outstanding by Ofsted, on Thursday chanting "Barclay, Barclay, shame on you," and "teachers and families must unite, education is a human right".

Why don’t the teachers put on the same energy when it comes to bullying?
-
This is a case of selective amnesia. It wasn't long ago when there was a particular blue and yellow flag on top of this school.
-
Headteacher must go , nothing wrong with supporting your own country
-
As a former Barclay Primary School pupil now at Leytonstone School, I can see why my Year 7 friends are talking about this incident.
-
He was wearing an flag of his culture, so what was so wrong about that. If they can have Ukrainian flag which I’m sure none of them were even related to, why can’t he.
-
Hypocrisy from the school, I remember when everyone was encouraged to support Ukraine and flags and Ukraine colours were encouraged. This is the problem when merely supporting Palestine has become an issue, the amount of influence Israel has in the UK is frightening.
-
Wow the double standards are SICKENING 🤮 The head of that school should be truly shamed of themselves, absolutely shocking
-
I can see hypocrisy on this issue .If there is a rule ,it must be fairly and consistently applied.
-
This is happening more in schools around.... Double standards
-
It’s like the Geneva convention applies only when it’s convenient 🇵🇸 On this issue Sky News there is not a both sides-Genocide is Genocide 🇵🇸🙏 brave little boy
-
The school head is acting like an Israeli prison guard. The fact that Ukranian flags are actively encouraged, but Gaza flags are banned says it all about the head teachers disgusting appartheid rules. Head teacher needs to go.
-
If they can raise Ukrainian flag when the they have no connection with ukraine then surely he has more right to raise the Palestinian flag as he has connection to it
-
Double Standards. Didnt have this amount of drama when they were showing solidarity with Ukraine
-
This is the extreme of double standards
-
I'm so glad that the community came together for Yahya. Utterly heart-broken for the young boy. Double standards at its finest. All out support for Ukraine but non for Palestine from majority of schools across the UK. They are suddenly "apolitical" .
-
He cant even support his own Family thats Sick
-
I remember my teachers being quite nasty.
-
It’s not just this school the double standards are there for everyone to see.
-
Yes close early for Christmas so they have plenty of time to reflect on the Christmas spirit of giving, of compassion and humanity
-
Offended by everything ashamed of nothing......
