Muslim faith school closed by Ofsted...

Post by Xamonas Chegwé » Tue Oct 01, 2013 11:32 pm

... due to serious irregularities and (GASP!) segregation of pupils on sexual grounds! Also being investigated by several other bodies. Well, there's a thing. Never would have expected that. What a shock. Surely people as deeply religious as the folks running this school couldn't be so... Oops, sorry, that should read, "ruining this school".

Full story here...

The Education Funding Agency - from which the school gets its public funding - is investigating alleged financial irregularities.

In a statement, the Department for Education said it was already investigating the school before the allegations became public.

It said: ''We discussed the problems with Ofsted and it launched an immediate inspection. We are waiting for Ofsted's final report and considering all legal options."

The school's closure is likely to be embarrassing for Education Secretary Michael Gove, who introduced free schools in 2010 in an effort to raise standards in education.

Free schools are state funded but operate outside local education authority control and can be set up by parents and community groups in England.
Betcha nobody is prosecuted over this. Too embarrassing for Michael 'stick my name on a bible' Gove.
