St Albert's primary school in Glasgow was targeted online after a visit by the first minister.
She said: "As I was relaxing on Friday night, after a very successful visit from our first minister, and celebrating what was a good day I was sent the first racist tweet that was put against our name online.""We are not used to it on the scale it has been on but in the 10 years I have been at St Albert's Primary School I am used to this happening and, certainly, this is the lived experience of most of our community.
She added: "We will be more creative about how we use images but, no, we will not be hiding away because that is what's happened to this community for many, many years and we have a very clear strategy to be visible for the excellence that is in Pollokshields."On Saturday the first minister Ms Harker said: "There was hundreds of hearts all over the school really for us and the children to walk into, to know that they are loved.Fauzia Ahmed, chairwoman of the school's parent council, said everyone had been left shocked by the racist comments.
She added: "They can't believe that this it has happened to our school, such a good school, with so much diversity."But she added: "It was difficult but we have had a very good start to the week and our children have done so well in understanding what has happened and they are going to do something about it.
