Bomb threats have been made to schools across London, police say.

The Metropolitan Police is investigating - but say the threats are a hoax.

Enquiries are ongoing.

A Barnet Council spokesperson said: “A total of 14 schools in Barnet contacted us to confirm they had received the hoax email affecting schools across the country.

"One of these schools took the decision to close as a precautionary measure.

“We will continue to monitor the situation closely with the Metropolitan Police Service.”
