Motion Text

That this House notes recent reports that a private Christian school has had its rating downgraded from good to adequate by Ofsted, the school being told by Ofsted that it should invite representatives of other faith groups, such as an imam, to lead assemblies so that respect for other faiths could improve; and is concerned that the aftermath of the so-called Trojan Horse scandal involving hard-line Muslim groups allegedly infiltrating schools in Birmingham is being used to the detriment of Christian schools.
