Let me set out their findings and my actions. Ofsted states that headteachers reported an organized campaign to target schools in order to alter their character and (evils) with the culture of fear and intimidation¹. Headteachers who had a record of raising standards reported they had been marginalized or forced out of their jobs. One school leader was so frightened about speaking to the authorities that the meeting had to be arranged in a supermarket car park.

 

Ofsted concluded that governors are trying to impose and promote a narrow, faith-based ideology² in what are non-faith schools. Specifically by narrowing the curriculum, manipulating staff appointments and using school funds inappropriately. Overall, Ofsted inspected 21 schools, three were good red standing³, 12 were found to require improvement, the remaining six are inadequate⁴ and in special measures. Let me explain why.

 

At one secular⁵ primary school, terms such as white prostitute, unsuitable for primary children the earth, were used in Friday assemblies from exclusively by Muslim staff. The school organized visits to Saudi Arabia, open only for Muslim pupils. And senior leaders told inspectors⁶ that a madrasah had been established and been paid for from the school's budget. Ofsted concluded the school was not adequately ensuring that pupils have opportunities to learn about faith in a way that promotes tolerance⁷ and harmony between different cultures.

 

At one secular secondary school, staff told officials the call to prayer was broadcast over the playground using loud speakers. Officials observed lessons had been narrowed to  comply with conservative Islamic teachings. In Biology, students were told evolution is not what we believe.
