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.
In a subsequent statement published on its website, the school strongly refuted any allegations of bullying or misconduct by staff and said the wording of its earlier letters had been 'misappropriated'. In a more recent letter, sent to parents on 10 January, Lion Academy Trust - which runs the school - said it had received a 'serious' written threat, as well as an anonymous caller making 'a series of racial slurs' and an arson threat against the school and its staff.
