Scotland Yard has recorded a “massive increase” in the number of suspected antisemitic offences in the capital compared with this time last year, as two more Jewish faith schools in north London close over security concerns.

The leaders of Menorah high school in Dollis Hill and another unidentified school told parents on Friday that their schools would be closeduntil at least Monday. They join Torah Vodaas primary school in Edgware, which made a similar decision on Thursday.
