Loyalists tonight pledged no let up in their protest campaign against the parents and children of the Holy Cross Primary School in north Belfast.
Even though they have agreed to call off a demonstration tomorrow morning as some of the children make their way to sit important 11-plus examinations, the residents warned they will be back on the streets again once the tests end.
"The protests will continue," said loyalist residents spokesman Mr Jim Potts.
The mother of one of the children is planning High Court action against Northern Secretary Dr John Reid and police over the alleged failure to arrest and identify protesters she claims are breaking the law.
Since the middle of June, the parents and children from the nationalist Ardoyne area have had to be given police protection as they walked to school through the neighbouring loyalist Glenbryn district.
Parents tonight said that from Monday onwards they intend to make their way to school without a police escort.
In a separate development, Portadown Orangemen have ended all further contact with South African mediator Mr Brian Currin in a new row over Drumcree.
They claimed some of their members on their way home from church last Sunday were prevented from walking along a footpath on the flashpoint Garvaghy Road.
One of their representatives, Mr David Burrows, said: "It exposed the sectarian nature of the residents' objectives. It is patently clear they have no interest in reaching any accommodation with us."
Mr Currin is expected to make a statement on his dealings with both sides when he returns from South Africa in a fortnight.
Garvaghy Road spokesman Mr Breandan MacCionnaith said the Orangemen had previously broken off contact with Mr Currin.
