Headteacher wins ‘riot police’ appeal

AN appeal lodged by Hampstead School headteacher Jacques Szemalikowski has been upheld by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Mr Szemalikowski’s complaint alleged riot police, who attended an incident at the Westbere Road school in 2006, were heavy-handed and racially motivated in their treatment of students. Mr Szemalikowski said: “It means a piece of evidence will now be included – two testimonies. One from an assistant head and one from a deputy head. I’m pleased. Had I not thought there were grounds I wouldn’t have resubmitted them.”
The complaint will now be reinvestigated by the Directorate of Professional Standards.
