Mohammed Emwazi attended Quintin Kynaston school in Queens Park, north west London, a decade ago. His former teacher said Emwazi needed help controlling his emotions but he was regarded as a “success story” after the therapy, she added.

“We’d find that he’d get very angry and worked up and it would take him a long time to calm himself down, so we did a lot of work as a school to help him with his anger and to control his emotions,” the teacher said.
