Academy publishes response to claims it discriminates against non-muslim staff

On the question of discrimination against non-muslim members Park View Academy's response said: 'Park View strictly complies with its recruitment policy which is fully compliant with legal requirements and is observant of fairness and meritocracy in process and practice.

This was a response to a story in the Daily Mail and the Sunday Times



The paper reported: "An 'outstanding' inner-city academy is to be investigated over claims non-Muslim staff are being treated unfairly and staff are attempting to introduce Islamic studies to the curriculum.

"Non faith-based Park View Academy in the Alum Rock area of Birmingham was the first academy in Britain to be rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted."
