Bomb threat

On 27 November 2012, students and teachers were evacuated from Newman Catholic College in Harlesden following reports of a bomb in the school's grounds. Police were called to Newman Catholic College in Harlesden Road, Harlesden. Students and staff were evacuated and the surrounding area was cordoned off for public safety while an explosive dog unit was called to search the area. However, nothing was found and the area was reopened at 10:20 am. Police have investigated an allegation of malicious communication.[4]

Departure of staff

Of 50 teachers at the Roman Catholic boys' school in Harlesden, 26 left in 2000. Documents obtained by The Guardian include a letter by union representatives to the chairman of governors, John Fox, alleging that the school environment had become "unsafe for pupils and staff".[5]
