Muslim free school for girls to be built in Coventry

'The building is expected to be finished by September 2015. Its first intake of 100 11-year-olds, to start in September 2014, will be housed in the former social club buildings until the new school is ready...



'The Coventry Leadership Academy for Girls would be the second Muslim school in Coventry. The other is the mixed fee paying Coventry Muslim School based partly in Paynes Lane, Stoke, and partly in Foleshill Road, Foleshill...'

'The school will be part of the Lancashire-based Tauheedul Free Schools Trust overseeing a number of free schools around the country. Chief executive of Tauheedul Education Hamid Patel says there is a need for the new school.'
