Operation Trojan Horse
Discussion
Just reading the Wiki page, sorry if this has already been posted:
At Park View School Ofsted reported that "students are not taught citizenship well enough or prepared properly for life in a multi-cultural and diverse society.”[39]
The EFA inspection found a classroom culture which was not welcoming to non-Muslim pupils. It described a "madrassa curriculum" and reported that "posters were written in Quranic Arabic in most of the classrooms visited. Posters were found in the classrooms encouraging children to begin lessons with a Muslim prayer, one saying: “If you do not pray, you are worse than a kafir”, and staff reported that loudspeakers were set up in the school to broadcast a call to prayer. The few pupils that elected to study a Christianity unit as part of the Religious Studies GCSE course had to "teach themselves", because the teacher focussed on Islamic studies which the majority were studying.[40][41]
Year 11 pupils about to sit their GCSEs at the school were instructed to partake in an Islamic fast, taking neither food nor drink, to place them in the right “spiritual frame of mind” for the exams. Additionally, students were expected to fast during the month of Ramadan. Some staff at the school expressed fear that neither eating nor drinking amid high temperatures during the 18 hours of daylight in the months of June and July would compromise pupils’ health and their ability to learning.[42]
The sexes were segregated in the classrooms and boys and girls suspected of being too friendly towards each other were disciplined. The Department for Education inspection found the seating arrangements “often with boys sitting towards the front of the class and girls at the back or around the sides”. The annual sports event for boys and girls was scheduled in different days.[42] Girls claimed to have been discriminated against and said some were sent home from a tennis tournament because their dress was too "revealing".[43]
Subjects such as Personal, Social and Health Education, Biology and Sex and Relationships Education were bowdlerised to conform with a conservative Islamic teaching. Pupils studying biology were not taught the section of the syllabus about Reproduction and the teacher stated when briefly outlining Evolution that "this is not what we believe".[44] A former staff member said that one teacher had handed out a worksheet stating that women “must obey their husbands,” and told his class that wives were forbidden from refusing their husbands sex.[41]
A former teacher at the school reported that the current head teacher, Monzoor Hussain, expressed “mind-blowing” anti-American views at school assemblies, describing the US as the “source of all evil in the world".[6] In school assemblies, former staff alleged that a senior teacher frequently praised Anwar al-Awlaki, an al-Qaeda recruiter that had been involved with at least three major terror attacks, and referred to non-Muslims as “kuffar”, an insulting term for infidel. The teacher also used school facilities to copy Osama bin Laden DVDs. External speakers were improperly vetted.[39] An extended Islamic assembly for its Year 10 and 11 pupils was arranged with Sheikh Shady al-Suleiman, an extremist preacher who has called on God to “destroy the enemies of Islam”, “give victory to all the Mujahideen all over the world” and to “prepare us for the jihad”.[45]
A head of department at the school, Inam Ul Haq Anwar, posted on Facebook in support of alleged Islamist extremists, including one that been imprisoned after being convicted of 11 counts of possessing and disseminating terrorist publications.[46] Abid Ali, the head of extra-curricular activities at the school, posted a flyer advertising a meeting in Birmingham in which "raising Muslim children in the West" was to be discussed. The flyer said that "it is only natural that as parents we seek to protect our children from the values of secular culture by inculcating within our children the pristine values of Islam." He also wrote online: "We need a muslim khalifa [movement]. Where the people will be those of imaan [faith] and will be prepared to defend our muslim ummah [nation]. One ummah. Mohammed’s ummah. One deep islam. Fighting to save our religion from the zalims [tyrants]."[46]
A teacher from Park View School was reported to the police after he broke into a female pupil’s mobile telephone to prove she was having a “forbidden” relationship with a boy. The 16-year-old girl's phone was confiscated by the teacher during a Sunday event and then taken to a shop for its passcode to be broken, and its contents were then examined by the school. Texts and images of the girl with a boy, a fellow Year 11 pupil at Park View, were used to justify the girl's suspension weeks before her GCSE exams.[42]
Wow!, It's a school FFS.

David Icke is never wrong and the Titanic was unsinkable when it set sail.Ofsted inspection is like an extended MoT, valid on the day(s) just about, though schools can bask in the aftermath of one for a few years if it goes well. MoT Nominated Testers aren't required to be saints and if information comes to light about them over the course of time, they can be sacked. The same goes for Ofsted Inspectors working for contractors.
My negative view of Ofsted may be unfairly skewed because I only encounter it when suing it on behalf of schools for alleged cock ups in reports. These may be outliers, and the norm may be much better, but I am not sure. A recent example involved a damning report on a nursery written by a contractor whose main job was running a rival nursery business and who had herself received a negative report a year previously. Ofsted agreed to withdraw the report and pay legal costs. Soon afterwards, Ofsted announced that it would cease using contractors to conduct inspections, presumably because that case was not an isolated occurrence of malarkey.
Here we go again.

"'Trojan Horse' Scandal 'Worse in London than Birmingham' Claims Department for Education"

"'Trojan Horse' Scandal 'Worse in London than Birmingham' Claims Department for Education"
Counter-terror raid this time at a private tuition college in Tower Hamlets.

"England schools watchdog Ofsted has carried out snap inspections of three independent Islamic schools in the London borough of Tower Hamlets.
The no-notice inspections were carried out at the request of the Department for Education and are not part of the standard inspection regime.
The DfE had asked for a number of independent schools to be inspected."

"There are still significant problems at the five Birmingham schools placed into special measures following concerns about a hard-line Islamist takeover.
England's schools watchdog Ofsted says the action plans are still "not fit for purpose" in some of the five.
At one, "staff do not trust each other", it says. And "safeguarding remains a serious concern" at another."
From that well known ultra right wing organisation - the BBC so obviously heavily biased against all things muslim

I know Church and State and intertwined in the UK, but is the best option going forward to remove religion entirely from education and make it a parental decision outside of the curriculum?

A bit misleading if you read the article.
£1m wasn't spent on the school, this is the cost of the school in Pakistan - how much of the UK schools funds towards this school in Pakistan is not known (could be nothing, could be thousands)
To be honest, I'd be more worried about the below:
'14 members of staff were without contracts, seven were still working there even though their contracts had expired and 29 had not had Criminal Record Bureau checks'

Presumably that's one of the schools in Special Measures (not sure if there are any that are in the Requires Improvement category) and one of the major reasons why!turbobloke said:

I expect a lot of the local 'community' is reliant on the school to pay for the livelihood. Turkeys aren't voting for Christmas...if you see what I mean. My local football club won't let anyone traing the kids with a full CRB (or what was) how a School can let teachers without quilification and staff without checks simply beggars belief.

Two statements that are bang on the nail, IMHO. My local football club won't let anyone traing the kids with a full CRB (or what was) how a School can let teachers without quilification and staff without checks simply beggars belief.
