An inquiry has been launched into a controversial charity running a Birmingham school - where pupils were once said to be at risk of radicalisation.
The Albayan Education Foundation Limited (AEFL) operates Birmingham Muslim School in Small Heath, while also carrying out relief work overseas and in the UK.
.... Ofsted had previously highlighted a ‘weak culture of safeguarding’ at the school in 2017, including a lack of alertness by staff to ‘the risks of pupils being radicalised’.
It concluded the school had not met ‘all of the independent school standards that were checked during this inspection’.
Inspectors said: “Consequently, there is the potential for pupils to be exposed to extremist views through contact with older pupils or adults out of school, such as when on school trips.
“As a result, the school is not taking all reasonable steps to protect pupils from exposure to partisan political views.” [Birmingham Mail] Read more
