A private Islamic school in Britain, associated with the extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir, has been rated as “inadequate” in promoting British values.
A three-day inspection by the government watchdog agency Ofsted found that in the Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation, a primary school in London’s Tottenham area, classes are “too heavily based around Islam,” too “narrow” and do not “deliver balanced viewpoints.”
In addition, the inspectors say that “fundamental British values and citizenship are not sufficiently well promoted.”
Ofsted (the Office for Standards in Education) rated the school inadequate in all five categories for which it checks: leadership and management, behavior and safety of pupils, quality of teaching, achievement of pupils and early years provision.
In their report, the inspectors also said that “There are too few opportunities for pupils to learn about the differences between other cultures, religions and communities, and their own.”
Moreover, the report states that, “School leaders and trustees have not ensured that the independent school standards for safeguarding, welfare and spiritual, moral, social and cultural development are met.”
In 2009, while sitting in the opposition, now Prime Minister David Cameron said that the Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation was a “front organization” for Hizb ut-Tahrir, an extremist group that promotes sharia law and the establishment of a global Islamic caliphate. Also, in 2009, while sitting in the opposition, Michael Grove, now education secretary, said that two of the Foundation’s four trustees were activists for Hizb ut-Tahrir.
The next year, the Charity Commission (the government regulatory agency for charities in the UK) declared that the school no longer had ties to Hizb ut-Tahrir.
The report comes amid the revelation of a bid by Islamists in Birmingham to take over British state schools and use them to teach extremist interpretations of Islam. Revealed in a letter leaked to the media in early 2014, the bid was dubbed "Operation Trojan Horse."
It
set out a strategy on how to remove uncooperative teachers and head
masters and replace them with Islamists to be able to run the school
according to Islamic law. Adderley Primary, Saltley School, Park View
School and Regents Park Community School were named as schools where
this strategy had proven successful.
A subsequent government investigation found overwhelming evidence that a group of Islamists had, in fact, been systematically taking over state-run schools in Birmingham, forcing out non-compliant Muslim and non-Muslim staff and forcing extremist Islamist values into the education system.
