I thought these academies were set up to bypass local education authorities, so it's not really fair to blame the local Council. If you're financing them from Central Government and looking for parents/governors to have a greater involvement this sort of thing is going to happen when you go into a mainly Muslim area.

I think the Tories themselves think they messed up hence the fallout between Gove and May last week.

Anyhow, the problem has now been identified, so it's time to sort it out. I'm for getting rid of all faith schools and then you do away with this sort of problem. I actually heard a Muslim saying on the radio this morning that he sent his kids to this school for the last 7 or 8 years because of their quality of education and nothing to do with faith.
