A review led by Sir David Bell will require schools in England to recognize antisemitism as a distinct form of harm, prompting specific actions to combat it. This includes dedicated teacher training, improved incident reporting, and enhanced education on antisemitism and Jewish life. The government is expected to accept all 27 recommendations from the review, which aims to address rising antisemitic incidents in schools.
Recent data indicates a significant increase in reported antisemitic incidents in schools, with a 59% rise in the first half of 2026 compared to the previous year. The review also suggests establishing a hotline for school leaders to seek immediate guidance on handling antisemitism, emphasizing that the issue affects all students, not just those in Jewish schools.
