Boy, 15, Hit With Hammer
Updated: 18:57, Friday January 12, 2007
Parents have confronted the headmaster of a school, which they claim is rife with racism, after a pupil was attacked with a hammer.
The 15-year-old was set upon by a gang of at least four men in the grounds of the Wiltshire school.
Eight men have been arrested and are being questioned by police following the assault on Thursday.
The teenager, who has not been named, was taken to hospital where his condition was described as stable.
The pupil, who suffered head injuries, is believed to have been assaulted by a gang of Asian men at the Ridgeway School in Wroughton, near Swindon.
Headmaster Steve Colledge has been confronted by a group of around 20 parents who demanded action.
One woman told him her son had been attacked by Asians and claimed racism was rife in the comprehensive.
She said: "This was a racist attack. The school has a racism problem. Is it going to take one of our children to die before they do something?"
Another parent said: "I'm not having my son coming to school. He was attacked last year and nothing was done about it."
Police have been questioning staff and pupils about the assault. Up to 100 pupils are thought to have witnessed the attack.
Mr Colledge told reporters that the incident could have happened as a result of an argument between a white and an Asian pupil.
He said it is predominantly a white school, with Asian pupils making up less than 5%, and counselling would be offered for children who witnessed the incident.
