Birmingham schools 'Trojan horse' claim dismissed
MICHAEL GOVE’S free market schools experiment was singled out yesterday as the cause for a curriculum of intolerance that was fed to children at Birmingham academies.
But former Met police counter-terrorism head Peter Clarke dismissed claims of a “Trojan horse” takeover of Birmingham schools by extremists.
In a report released yesterday he was clear that he “neither specifically looked for, nor found, evidence of terrorism, radicalisation or violent extremism.”
