SWASTIKAS have been scrawled across a school wall in Oxford.

The Nazi graffiti was spotted daubed on a back wall of Cheney School in Headington today.

It sits alongside further offensive wording including obscenities and a nod to Swedish YouTuber 'PewDiePie' - a reference reportedly made during the New Zealand shootings on Friday.

It is believed a gunman involved in the attack on a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, in which 49 people were killed, urged people to subscribe to 'PewDiePie' before opening fire.

PewDiePie later said on Twitter he was "absolutely sickened having my name uttered by this person"

It is not known if this is what the graffiti in Oxford is referencing.

This is my former school in #Oxford and the second time swastikas have been sprayed in our city in five months. I reported swastikas sprayed on a community building in November last year - no arrests were ever made then. https://t.co/CDvcVrpSfx #Hatecrime — Shaista Aziz (@shaistaAziz) March 16, 2019

The graffiti, which is thought to have appeared this weekend, are said to be on a back wall of the secondary school by the playing fields.

Oxford City councillor Tom Hayes, cabinet member for community safety, has confirmed the council is aware of the graffiti and Oxford Direct Services are int he process of getting it removed.

Sickened by the daubing of Nazi graffiti on a back wall of Cheney School in Headington today. Have raised concerns with @OxfordCity @OxfordDS to remove this as a matter of immediate urgency. Hate is unacceptable in our diverse and welcoming city. — Tom Hayes (@CllrTomHayes) March 16, 2019

Thames Valley Police said the graffiti has not been reported to the force.

The latest scrawlings follow a similar case late last year in which Nazi swastikas were sprayed on an Oxford Community Centre.

The Nazi graffiti was sprayed across the Quarry Pavilion, on Margaret Road, and prompted fears of hate crime in Oxford.
