Independent review into antisemitism in schools and colleges: Call for evidence

Call for evidence closes: 1 July 2026

The Secretary of State for Education has asked Sir David Bell to conduct a review into antisemitism in schools and colleges in England.

It will consider:

  • how well schools and colleges use their policies to make decisions and handle incidents
  • the support available to schools and colleges, including relevant government guidance
  • how schools and colleges are accountable if they do not handle incidents well, including the role of inspectorates
  • what schools and colleges do to prevent antisemitism, including to identify and tackle issues early
  • the role and influence of campaigning organisations, and how they affect school and college decision making

The review aims to help schools and colleges prevent, identify and respond effectively to antisemitism, and other forms of hatred and prejudice.

The review will recommend practical actions, for the Department for Education and sector leaders.
