Thugs have daubed swastikas on vans parked opposite the entrance of a Jewish girls’ school in north London.

Schoolgirls and their parents were left “shocked” after discovering the Nazi symbols outside Beis Malka Jewish Girls School, in Alkham Road, Stamford Hill.

Vandals also sprayed “f*** off” onto one of the vans overnight on Sunday.

Jewish neighbourhood watch group Shomrim shared images of the offensive symbols on Twitter.

A spokesman told the Standard: “Young schoolchildren and their parents were shocked to discover the offensive graffiti.

“Sadly swastikas and anti-Semitic graffiti is far too common in Stamford Hill.”

Last month, a swastika was drawn on a fence in the area along with “f*** off” written in German.

And, in June a series of the symbols were left at a children’s playground nearby.

According to a study by Shomrim, some 32 anti-semitic incidents were logged during a month-long study among ultra-Orthodox Charedi Jews, living in Stamford Hill, last month.

Barry Bard, Senior Coordinator at Stamford Hill Shomrim, said "The dedicated Shomrim volunteers work tirelessly to help the police arrest and prosecute offenders, in the past couple of months, our work has successfully resulted in four anti-Semites being convicted in four separate anti-Semitic cases."

Police in Hackney are investigating the graffiti.
