Eighty pupils have signed a letter accusing senior staff of failing to stamp out alleged racism in their Bury school. The letter, signed by Year 11 students at Elton High, was sent to headteacher, Jonathan Wilton, and school governors.
In the letter, pupils claim there has been an "alarming" number of incidents and urge the school to come up with a plan to combat racism. The letter was sent on March 2nd and today (March 13th) the headteacher and his deputy met some of those who signed it after school to discuss the issues raised.
Thirty three pupils attended the meeting today and the headteacher has agreed to come up with an action plan to deal with concerns. He insists racism "is not tolerated" at the school.
