The school attended by an 11-year-old boy who had his finger amputated after an attack by racist bullies closed for safety reasons yesterday.
Pupils at Abertillery Learning Community secondary school were told to stay at home amid fears of a protest. The school said that pupils studied remotely and were expected to be able to return to classes today.
Raheem Bailey, who had allegedly been bullied since starting at the school in September, was pushed to the ground and kicked last week. As he tried to flee he climbed over a fence and severely injured his finger. He waited five hours for an ambulance and then spent six hours in surgery. Doctors decided the finger could not be saved and amputated it.
