It said: “Unfortunately our student will not tolerate anybody who is not white British, therefore to safeguard your drivers please  always send a white British driver.”

A spokesman for the firm in Castleford, West Yorks, said: “It’s racist and we’ve never had a request like this before.”

Local taxi drivers’ leaders also blasted the request. Wajid Ali,   of Wakefield District Private Hire and Hackney Association, said: “We treat everybody equally. The school has not treated the drivers equally.”

Peter Marshall, executive head of the school in Ossett, said: “We  acknowledge that the email was  inappropriate and we apologise for any offence  caused.”
