A primary school has warned parents it may have to close its doors because of a worsening row over a pupil wearing a Palestine flag patch to school.
Barclay Primary School, in Leyton, east London, said it may have to revert to online learning because of threats made against the school and its staff.
Growing anger at the school in December forced it to close early for Christmas.
The pupil, whose mother is from Gaza, had been off school for weeks after refusing to remove the patch.
Speaking to the BBC last month, the boy's father, Shahid, said his eight-year-old son had been traumatised by the incident.
He said he was "sad, upset and angry" and has been questioning if he had "done something wrong".
His mother, Rasha, has lost many family members, he said.
The school had asked parents to stop sending pupils to school wearing any signs of political allegiance.
