Hainault attack: school praises Daniel Anjorin’s ‘positive and gentle’ character

Bancroft’s school in Woodford Green said it is in ‘profound shock and sorrow’ after death of Daniel, 14, who it described as a ‘true scholar’

The 14-year-old boy killed in the sword attacks in north-east London was praised as a “true scholar” by his school, the same one attended by one of the victims of the 2023 Nottingham stabbings.

The teenager named by police as Daniel Anjorin, was a student at the private Bancroft’s school in Woodford Green, which is still reeling from losing former student , Grace O’Malley-Kumar, in the June 2023 Nottingham stabbings.
