A school where an 11-year-old boy lost a finger trying to flee a ‘gang of racist bullies’ has been shut on health and safety grounds.

Raheem Bailey had a finger amputated after catching it in a fence at Abertillery Learning Community in Gwent, South Wales.

Education chiefs launched an investigation and temporarily closed the school buildings, moving 1,600 pupils to blended learning from today.

Raheem’s devastated mum Shantal Bailey said her son was ‘screaming in pain’ when he called her in tears last Tuesday.
