My statement regarding the verdict on our ban of prayer rituals at Michaela.
So, imagine this. An outstanding school that doesn't cater for a significant cohort of the school. Social cohesion, SMSC, inclusivity and diversity out the window when it comes to the specific needs of Muslim children. Wow, such educators must be so "proud" of such a separatist and prejudiced outcome. It's not the issue about knowing a school's ethos before admission; some Muslim children might not be so devout in year 7, but later in their school life, they might be. Then what? Exclude them? Not provide for them? Shame on this school. The job of the headteacher is to be in total servitude to the children in your care, not be "egoistically" restricting and unaccomodating. Bad day for education
@Miss_Snuffy 👏👏👏 well done. Your students are very fortunate to be a part of your community.
@Miss_Snuffy @avocet2 Everyone cheering this on is an idiot. Civil and religious liberties for all or none at all.
@Miss_Snuffy Governments in Western Europe should take an example. Standing firm against such pressure is an act of bravery and the children will benefit in the long term and thank you.
@Miss_Snuffy The bottom of the message is full of racist and Islam-hating congratulations. I'm not surprised. Who would want to study in such a school?
@Miss_Snuffy A Headteacher who truly, deeply and utterly loves her pupils and puts their interests ahead of everything. Inspiring.
No school should have religious study’s or prayer rooms why would you send your kids to a school that doesn’t allow prayer rooms if you knew this in the first place Religion causes nothing but hassle but i am sure there are faith schools people could go to if prayer is that important School is education and thats it.
@Miss_Snuffy Why vegetarianism? Is that a traditional british value? Is it against british values to pray for 10 mins in lunch break?
@Miss_Snuffy Everyone has a right to religious beliefs.
@Miss_Snuffy The right decision. If people don’t like the rules and attitudes of the school they are free to find a different school.
