TW: My 15 year old sister&her friends have been subjected to MONTHS of bullying&harassment by xenophobic students at @ParliHill who have been protected by staff. Due to school negligence on the 31st March they were physically assaulted by over 30 STUDENTS! HATE CRIMEđŸ§”
1st incident took place in Dec 2020, the bullies started a rumour that my sisters friend (Somali&wears the abaya *Islamic dress*)bleached her skin. After being tormented for weeks she confronted them, the bullies said, “you bleach your skin we will drag you in your cape, Batman”
Teachers heard the comments made and took the bullies away, they then ran away from the teachers& physically assaulted the Somali girl. Her cousin was at the scene and was also assaulted. The bullies were permanently excluded. However, the 2 Somali girls were also excluded.
The schools reasoning for excluding them was that ‘it was beyond self-defence’. They constantly refer to the assault as a fight and they did not carry out further investigation into the raised issue of islamophobia.
3 of the bullies remain in the school. They made comments like, “go back to your country”, “we’ll feed you bacon”. When my sister&friends reported it, they were met with - Ms Solemon “No they never, that isn’t something they would say. Did you do something to provoke them?”
The teachers disregarded their cries for help, they gaslighted them to an extent where my sister&her friends did not inform their families of what they were facing at school because they did not comprehend the severity of the situation. They were silenced.
Two of my sisters friends were physically threatened by the 3 bullies on their way out of school, they had to be escorted on the bus for their safety. The bullies attempted to get on the bus but were held back by teachers. One shouted, “we’ll rip your f***ing headscarf off”.
2 of the bullies were excluded except the one who made the Islamophobic comment. My sisters&friends were called in for a meeting WITHOUT THE PARENTS KNOWLEDGE by school police officer Pc Nengi Etela&Ms Poole. To discuss how they could’ve responded better&how can they ‘improve’.
The young girls expressed that they felt ignored&were frustrated that the girl who made the Islamophobic comment wasn’t excluded. The staff agreed and the following day she was excluded. Teachers also promised an “awareness assembly”that never took place.
Absolutely appalling and inappropriate. It isn’t the responsibility of a group of 15yr old girls to explain to staff what measures should have been taken to prevent their negligence and how to effectively safeguard them better ‘next time’.
31st March my sister&her friends walked out of school and noticed the 6 excluded bullies with a group on school premises. Pc Nengi Etela told the girls she would walk them down a bit but not all the way. They were chanting the girls names etc. At some point they took a corner so
Pc Nengi told the girls that they’ll be fine&to ignore them, then left. A girl stood in front of my sister&one of her friends and said you’re not going anywhere. As they began to argue 30+ young people emerged, some in balaclavas with dogs including older boys
They BRUTALLY verbally&physically assaulted my sister&friends. Threatened them with the DOG,KICKED&PUNCHED IN THE HEAD&BACKS, the girls were all badly wounded, my sister after injury to the head FAINTED ON THE SCENE. The older boys were also partaking
Videos circulated social media, schools all over Camden have the videos. The title of the snapchat private story was “9/11 FLIGHT CREW”!!!! including edits of my sister fainting captioned “knocked out cleanđŸ€Łâ€etc. Blatant HATE CRIME!
All the girls required medical attention. The next day Ms Meek called, confirmed they were all permanently excluded&Pc Nengi will be handling the case. She then called one of the parents&said “don’t worry about the Somalian girls, they’ve got big families they’ll handle it”?!
I’m absolutely horrified that these incompetent people are teachers? Pc Nengi spoke to one of the mothers and said that she will be taking statements after the Easter holidays, when the mother questioned her she said,”I HAVE GOT A LIFE&CHILDREN, IT IS MY HOLIDAY”.
My sister&friends have been on house arrest since the assault, they’ve been receiving THREATENING PHONE CALLS. It’s been so traumatising for the girls, their families have been so scared for their daughters safety!
For 13 days we heard nothing from the school, we took matters into our own hands contacted Camden council, victim support and other external organisations. Whilst they all paused the investigation to enjoy their holidays we were busy healing our daughters&fighting justice.
@ParliHill FAILED my sister&friends every step of the way, the staff silenced and belittled them. This TRAUMATIC series of events could have been avoided had the school acted upon their code of conduct! Shocking level of negligence has been allowed to continue at this school!
The right of parents were stripped as they failed to communicate. A school is meant to safeguard&educate, @ParliHill condoned, aided&abetted those bullies rather than condemning HATE CRIME immediately! @Ofstednews
This is not UNCOMMON NEWS FOR ETHNIC MINORITIES! We can only imagine if the girls suffered life changing injuries/worse death! We would like to see justice&the staff involved in this situation to be held accountable for their FAILURES to protect @TulipSiddiq @Ofstednews
The teachers who failed my sister&friends: Headteacher Ms Creasey, Assistant Head Ms Slingenzer, Designated Safeguard Leader Ms Poole, Pc Nengi Etela.

Forgot to add: before we took measures into our own hands one of the mothers sent an email to Ms Creasey after the threatening calls. She wanted to confirm if the bullies were perm* excluded. In short she said, need to follow procedure, we’ll resume investigation once were back.
The very LEAST they could do is permanently exclude these bullies with the significant amount of evidence they have. It’s just shameful. @ParliHill
UPDATE: This young person is talking about Ms Meek. The level of gaslighting and manipulation is out of this world!!!!! Using strategic tears to silence the actual victims, absolutely horrific! This isn’t about you!

Still can’t believe people are comparing my sister&her friends to Shukri Abdi! May Allah have mercy on her soul💔 So surreal my heart hurts Subhan’Allah, this really could’ve resulted in the death of these girls! Had @ParliHill disciplined the bullies, would’ve never happened!
