British Values...?

How can ofsted possibly give a "good" rating to this school?

Twisted values, not wanting to rock the boat and doing what they're told by Dave's big thinkers.
That should about cover it

[Old_Geezer]

Perhaps because it's judged purely on its provision of a good quality of education and meeting its stated aims very well ?

One could argue that further criteria should be considered.

[Mosaic]

One of the criteria used most frequently to wrong-foot -oh, sorry, 'assess' a school is how it encourages interaction with the local community. Allowing this school to get away with a separatist agenda flies in the face of Ofsted advice to headteachers. It stinks.

"The school is housed in Dewsbury's Markazi Mosque compound and run by the Tablighi Jamaat sect, which imposes a strict Sharia code on students"

and we allow this to go on...theres the future of this country.....

[Zacs-Master]

I'm surprised they let Ofstead in!

[agchristie]

/// students "socialising with outsiders... will be expelled///

Always back the favourites eh?

[anotheoldgit]

/// Mosque elder Shabbir Daji, chairman of the school's governing shura, told Sky News the school "works for unity", but would not comment on how its restrictions prepare children for life in Britain. ///

/// "Our policy is to keep away from the media," he said. ///

Instead of Sky News trying to get response from the Muslims themselves, they should be demanding a response from our politicians, and asking why this school and Mosque is not closed down immediately.

Dewsbury now where next? if it is not already taking place elsewhere.

Drewsbury the same place the family who fled to join ISIS came from!

Hoi you lot, this is called Integration.

[-Talbot-]

Yes EDDIE and three of the four London suicide bombers came from Dewsbury.

[agchristie]

TWR

Are you a TV channel? If so, not talking to you ;)

[TWR]

ok

[Svejk]

And don't schools get marked down for being 'too white'.

[sandyRoe]

Would they say, 'too white', or would it be 'not reflecting the demographic of the area'?

[Svejk]

Well, they say 'not diverse enough' even though they represent the local demography.

[Zacs-Master]

Talbot. Just a pedantic point of order but only one of the 7/7 bombers was from Dewsbury

"How can ofsted possibly give a "good" rating to this school? "

I think under the "all must have priizes" mantra the available ofsted ratings are "good", "very good" and "very very good"!

But seriously though folks (because you have to laugh otherwise you'd cry) apparently the last inspection this school underwent was under the "old rules" where the grasp of "British Values" were not considered among the criteria. So up to recently it was perfectly in order for schools to teach separatism and isolation. And we suddenly wonder why the Muslim population tends not to integrate with the rest of the country.

[dave50]

Why do we keep pussy footing around muslims? What does it matter if they get upset? who cares anymore? Just tell them how it is and close the school down and if they dont like it then tough.

[-Talbot-]

I didn't mean where they were born, Zacs.
Maybe my memory is faulty but I thought 3 of the bombers were living in Dewsbury when they perpetrated the crime?
