School inspectors today placed five Birmingham schools in special measures in the wake of 'Trojan Horse' allegations that hardline Muslims were trying to radicalise school children.
In a bombshell report Ofsted found a 'culture of fear and intimidation' had developed in some schools in the city - and, in several, governors exerted 'inappropriate influence' over how they are being run.
In an advice note to Education Secretary Michael Gove outlining the findings, Ofsted chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw also warned that Birmingham City Council had failed to support a number of schools in their efforts to protect pupils from the 'risks of radicalisation and extremism'.

The five placed in special measures as a result of the recent inspections are Golden Hillock School, Nansen Primary School, Park View Academy - all run by the Park View Educational Trust - Oldknow Academy and Saltley School. A sixth - Alston Primary - was already in special measures.

The three schools run by the Park View Educational Trust were attacked by inspectors for restricting its curriculum to a 'conservative Islamic perspective'.

The report found pupils risked 'cultural isolation' and had a 'limited knowledge of religious beliefs other than Islam'.
Inspectors said music and art had been cut from the timetable 'at the insistence of the governing body'.
Ofsted also found pupils' understanding of UK traditions, culture and beliefs were not being properly developed and children were not being adequately prepared for life in modern Britain.
Inspectors were also critical of the 'over-controlling' governors interfering in the daily running of the school.

A separate report following the inspection of Oldknow Academy in Small Heath found it was 'taking on the practices of an Islamic faith school' and had excluded non-Muslim staff and pupils from an annual trip to Saudi Arabia for three years running.

There were protests outside Al-Hijrah School in Bordesley Green, Birmingham, this morning to stop inspectors visiting their school. This is the third week Birmingham City Council have tried to gain access to the school, but, have up to to today, have been denied access

An Islamic primary school was found with books promoting stoning, lashing and execution, the education watchdog has said.
Ofsted said Olive Tree Primary School in Luton - which is not involved in the Trojan Horse plit - had library books that 'promote fundamentalist views' which 'have no place in British society'.
The fee-paying school, which teaches boys and girls aged five to 11 years shares its premises with a mosque.
Books available to children included The Ideal Muslim by Dr Muhammad Ali Al-Hashimi, which advocates parents hitting children if they do not pray by the age of 10, the report said.
Another, Commanders Of The Muslim Army by Mahmood Ahmad Ghadanfar, was said to praise individuals who 'loved death more than life in their pursuit of righteous and true religion'.
It said the books were available without providing explanation or context, with some failing to promote gender equality.
No one at the school was available for comment.

A campaign by hardline Islamists to take control of state schools was laid bare yesterday.
Revealing the shocking extent to which strict Muslim practices are being imposed on pupils and teachers alike, the chief inspector of schools said the plotters used ‘fear and intimidation’ against their opponents.
Sir Michael Wilshaw said the aim of the ‘Trojan Horse’ campaign was to impose a ‘narrow faith-based ideology’ on schools in Birmingham.

Shocking: The damning report by Sir Michael Wilshaw heavily condemned the practices of senior staff, including Monzoor Hussain, assistant headteacher at Park View School, who ran assemblies on Ramadan


Music was banned at one primary, raffles and tombolas were axed from fetes for being unIslamic and boys were forced to change for PE in a store cupboard to preserve their modesty.
One primary spent £32,000 on a five-star trip to Saudi Arabia from which non-Muslim pupils were barred.

Children as young as six at the same school were told that Western women were ‘white prostitutes’.

Launching long-awaited reports on 21 schools, Sir Michael said the widespread conspiracy had involved fundamentalists infiltrating governing bodies.

.

Governors had ‘exerted inappropriate influence’ on schools leading to enforced segregation of boys and girls in some classes and a narrowing of the curriculum.
The Ofsted reports – and a separate set of Department for Education investigations – make many other revelations including that teachers attempted to vet the script of a nativity play. The reports were issued as:

• Education Secretary Michael Gove pledged to ensure British values are actively promoted in all schools;
  
• Governors and heads condemned in the reports face being stripped of their roles;
  
• Fresh claims surfaced that the infiltration of schools is spreading to other regions;
  
• Schools criticised in the reports threatened legal action, claiming the verdicts were politically motivated;
