It was reported on March 22 that the Birmingham school at the centre of an alleged campaign of ‘Islamisation’ by Muslim radicals, in a self-styled ‘Trojan Horse’ campaign to remove secular heads and install Islamic practices in state schools, is to be placed in ‘special measures’ by the Government’s education watchdog.

This move could see its head teacher and governors removed.
