New schools for race row pupils
Parkside Community College
Parents wanted to transfer their children from the school
An anti-racism group says most of the 14 ethnic minority children who were taken out of a Plymouth school have been found new schools.

It follows a series of allegations in September about racist chanting and egg throwing in the playground of the city's Parkside Community College.

Plymouth City Council has recently admitted there is a problem with racism at the school.

But the council says improvements are being made to monitor the situation.

Public meeting

The independent anti-racism charity, the Monitoring Group, says 11 out of 14 ethnic minority children have now been transferred to other schools following the incident.

The group is holding a public meeting on Thursday night at the city's Guildhall for all parents concerned about racism.
