2:22Now PlayingAn east London primary school has closed early for the Christmas holidays over "escalating threats against staff" after allegations an eight-year-old boy was punished by teachers for refusing to remove a Palestinian flag from his coat.
In a letter to parents, Barclay Primary School, in Leyton, said there was "no evidence to support any allegations of bullying or misconduct" after the claims were made on TikTok.
Protesters gathered outside the school, which is rated outstanding by Ofsted, on Thursday chanting "Barclay, Barclay, shame on you," and "teachers and families must unite, education is a human right".
