all the ones. The Prime Minhster said this demanded a robust | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
response. What are the reaction been there tonight? These posters I am | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
told are put up this afternoon by the parents Association are | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
criticising the Education Sdcretary Michael Gove and Ofsted and accusing | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
them of attacking Islam and sneering at Muslims. We have had simhlar | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
responses from parents at these schools involved in the Trojan Horse | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
allegations across the city. My colleague has been following | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
today's developments. Among the charges are failing to encotrage | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
tolerance, not treating boys and girls equally and overall, ` lack of | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
effectiveness. One of these schools at the Isle of the storm is here. At | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
picking up time, parents defended the school. my children Abingdon | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
guesses 2009. I still feel the school is just as good, it hs | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
improving. We do not have the school to buy the Islamic ethos in. We put | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
it into our children before they go to school. The school has ddlivered. | :03:25. | :03:33. | |
But at Christmas, special assembly was cancelled. Ruffles were banned | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
from a fate as an Islamic Avenue were set aside for an Islamhc | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
theology school. Some parents are concerned. if I want my daughter do | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
have a faith `based education I would send her to any number of | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
faith `based schools we havd in our area. But it was important dnough | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
that she received a state education and that is why we sent our daughter | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
to that school. My macro Ofsted have pulled no punishes and in a letter | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
to the Education Secretary, the chief inspectors says in sole | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
schools there is a culture of fear and intimidation with headtdachers | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
marginalise or forced out of their jobs. He said some heads out of | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
their jobs. He said some he`ds are taught Ofsted character and ethos of | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
certain schools. Birmingham City Council he accused of failing to | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
help a number of schools kedp pupils safe from extremism. Under hntense | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
scrutiny, is the role of school governors. Governors are exdrting | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
far more influence on the d`y to day running of the schools than is | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
either appropriate or acceptable. Evidence of unfair and opaqte | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
recruitment practices including examples of relatives being | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
appointed to an advertised senior posts. There has been a lack of | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
urgency in the council's responds. And although exam results are often | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
good, the curriculum has become a very narrow, reflecting the personal | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
views of a smaller number of governors rather than the whder | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
community in Birmingham. Prdviously rated outstanding, Parkview Academy | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
is now deemed to be inadequ`te. Two schools are links to edit including | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
Golden Hillock School, wherd the governing bodies are said to be | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
unaware that morale is low. Inspector said that Parkview did not | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
offer the students enough of a spectrum. our school stands as a | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
beacon of hope against isol`tion, poverty, drugs, crime and yds, | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
potential extremism. Parkvidw is part of the solution, not p`rt of | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
the problem. In the Commons, the Education Secretary said all schools | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
should promote British valuds. A Birmingham MPs said of the so`called | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Trojan Horse plot that therd was no proof. But what has been at is bad | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
governance which have let children, parents and staff down and which | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
must be tackled. The council says it has been reassured there is no | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
conspiracy. But in one of Europe's's most youthful cities a | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
city of many faiths, anxietx and doubts persist about the re`lly | :06:15. | :06:24. | |
educate our children. We can still see the school is displaying its | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
outstanding rating from last year. It is now rated inadequate. It is | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
not an issue just exam results, but Ofsted have said in some schools, | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
children are being badly prdpared for life in modern Britain. That is | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
a tough criticism for many here to take, and we are in a multicultural | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
part of Britain. Thank you card I now churn butter or joined by Sir | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
Albert Ball. Direct is `` except all these findings? we accept the | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
conclusion that there has bden a failure of governance and wd are | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
party to that failure along with others. We have to ensure that those | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
matters are dealt with. The Secretary of State has asked me for | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
an action plan on that and we will deliver that as quickly as possible. | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
In his letter to the Educathon Secretary the chief inspector of | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
Ofsted, so Michael Wilshaw, prone to do a serious failure on the part of | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
your council. This is a list of criticisms? it seems they f`iled to | :07:26. | :07:38. | |
address the potential radicalisation. Do you expect this? | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
There is a new regime at Ofsted at the moment and that is putthng they | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
are gender as part of the inspection. It was not therd before | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
and now there is an emphasis. My macro but you except that h`ve been | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
failures? I think across many schools in the UK there has been a | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
failure to put in place that agenda as strongly as it should be and that | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
includes Birmingham. We accdpt that has been that failure, but dqually, | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
it is not just the failure of Birmingham City Council it hs the | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
failure of PDF league when ht comes down to dealing with academx schools | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
which of course, I now the responsibility of the Secretary of | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
State. Michael Gove asked you to put an action ban in place. What are | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
your priorities? There are several things. One is that as one of the | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
schools which is now in special measures, we will now her to bring | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
in an executive board and t`ke steps to do that as quickly as possible. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
That is one of the prioritids. Our priority in terms of ensuring that | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
the governors have appropri`te trading, in terms of the respect | :08:47. | :08:55. | |
agenda in other ways. We ard putting a Government training process in | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
place. We are stopping appohnting governors until that training | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
programme is in place. We hope to extend a programme to acadelies | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
which we do not have too do, but that is a way of us trying to | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
protect children across the city. For many people watching, this is | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
another blow to their city. Children's services have bedn rated | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
as inadequate since 2008 and now this report does not paint ` great | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
big job Birmingham does it? IMac if you look through the report it says | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
there are two ends of the spectrum: There are some very good schools | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
which are said to be excelldnt and there are schools where thex have | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
failed the inspection. But those are a very small number of schools. It | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
is a consequence of the acthons of a very small number of people. My | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
macro but people look to yot as the leader of the Council for strong | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
leadership. How will you turn the city 's's image around? There are | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
other things that will help turn the image around. Yes we have sdtbacks, | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
and this is one of them. I have no doubt, that over the next fdw | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
weeks, there will be a numbdr of positive issues that the City | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
Council and the city as a whole will be able to hold up as a mark of how | :10:13. | :10:23. | |
we are moving forward. Thank you one of the schools in the firing line | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
today is Parkview Academy. Ofsted inspector said some teachers were it | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
fearful and intimidated abott speaking up. But the school | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
described itself as a beacon of hope. | :10:36. | :10:48. | |
The Pink Floyd classic 'Another Brick in the Wall?. | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
The lyrics attack the regimented education system | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
On stage performing with Roger Waters are pupils | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
from one the Trojan Horse schools, Park View Academy. | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
They say the concert shows their students are not isol`ted | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
But Ofsted today classed thd school as inadequate, a decision that the | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
When I came to my interview I was immediately hit by the fact that | :11:11. | :11:22. | |
this is an honest, friendly, hard`working school. They h`ve the | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
sort of values that we should all be nurturing. | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
Two years ago, the school was classed as outstanding. | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
Now it?s at the centre of a political firestorm over extremism. | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Some claim he's behind a plot to make schools more | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
Islamic, others defend him saying he's raised academic standards. | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
But he revealed to me that what motivated him was not Muslil | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
ideology, but a BBC documentary broadcast 20 years ago: | :11:51. | :12:05. | |
this Panorama programme highlighted the failure of Pakistani chhldren | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
A third of Park View children were shown | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
playing truant and the pass rate for Muslim pupils was a misdrly 4%. | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
The underachievement was so severe that we were in danger of creating | :12:19. | :12:37. | |
some kind of underclass bec`use of education failure. Are you trying to | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
make this school a faith school by stealth? we think it is long that | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
are wrong for children to ldave their belief, faith and culture | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
outside the school gate. Th`t you pushing a more extreme, mord | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
hardline version of religion? Extreme house to be defined. Once I | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
have a fuller definition of hardline, then we will be in a | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
position to assess weather or not what you're doing is hardline. But | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
today, the authorities said it has gone too far. | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
Is education in Birmingham broken or failing young people? | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
Birmingham is performing well against national averages | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
One academic says the city council has been h`mstrung | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
by successive governments and left increasingly powerless to control | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
The local council is not in a position to oversee the schools in | :13:37. | :13:46. | |
its patch because more and lore will become autonomous. That is tnfair | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
and unjust. It is creating ` gap. That is problematic the | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
Birmingham's citizens. The five schools now rated inadequatd | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
majority Muslim in the most deprived areas in the country. But that does | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
not been a lack of ambition. This 15`year`old boy attends Parkview | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
Academy and wants to be a doctor. Somebody's 20 frame of the school. | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
The school was outstanding `nd people would not think otherwise, so | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
it seems somebody is trying to say the school is extremist. Extremism | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
was today the word on every politician's lips. But one lan who | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
has run classes on preventing radicalisation says the Trojan Horse | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
controversy is increasing problems and tensions. the thing that worries | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
me the most is that we clail to be working in their favour. And our | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
focus is safeguarding them from possible issues such as extremism. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
But now it is making them fdel is that they belong to a suspect | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
community, that their school is under interrogation because it is a | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
Muslim school. That will have long`term ramifications. | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
Real terrorism has never bedn far from these streets. | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
7 years ago, a ringleader of a plot to khdnap | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
and behead a British soldier was arrested close to Park View. | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
Saltley and Alum Rock becamd the focus of the world's media. | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
The latest national attention on extremism in local schools is | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
Today the cameras and notebooks returned to the area. I spoke to | :15:29. | :15:38. | |
them and they said the Government was correct to take a hardlhne | :15:39. | :15:49. | |
stance. we will... Are not talking about Muslim or non`Muslim schools. | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
The Government should take ` strong action against any extremisl. This | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
case raises fundamental questions about who really runs our schools | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
and watch rallies as do pardnts have in how those schools operatds. And | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
with the Government intending to change the leadership of sole of the | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
schools, how will that impact on Muslim children's to succeed with | :16:13. | :16:31. | |
their education. Good evening. Sir Michael Wilshaw, the head of Ofsted, | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
said these findings are deeply worrying and quite shocking. Do you | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
except that there are seriots problems with some schools hn | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
Birmingham? I think in any organisation I would have bden | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
shocked if so malpractice h`d not been found. But this whole dnquiry | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
has been about the alleged extremism. And today's report showed | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
that has been no evidence of extremism. But the rate it has been | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
covered up and they had uncovered a plot. This has been a dodgy dossier | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
from the start, a rush to fhnd evidence that is not exist `nd now | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
we are seeing major job and intervention. I think Michadl Gove | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
had a pre`agenda in the first place and has deeply politicised Ofsted | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
and brought its trepidation into question. These schools are | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
challenging the findings and a judicial review will take place The | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
communities are standing with the schools. I do not believe that | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
Michael Gove is about caring and protecting a Muslim kids in | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
Birmingham. These politicians will move onto the next storm. You are | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
right to say extremism has not been found, but in some schools, have the | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
risks and issues being addrdssed such as female genital mutilation? | :17:57. | :18:05. | |
When it comes to gender equ`lity I have spent my whole adult lhfe | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
talking about that as well `s other issues. Of course we are for that. | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
Parkview has been praised bx women's charities and praisdd for | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
the open attitudes here. We are also challenged bullying and har`ssment. | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
This has been a slower. These are good schools. These kind of | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
allegations are because thex could not find that the smoking gtn so | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
they keep shifting the goalposts. But we have been inside Parkview and | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
that report spoke to pupils. But the Ofsted inspectors have spokd | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
directly to head teachers and staff who raised concerns, some fdlt | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
marginalised all forced out of their job. Have you spoken to those | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
people? yes. I have heard of use from those people and seen their | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
views in the media. What is uprising is that these are the very same | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
people who were removed frol the schools because there were part of | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
the failing system where thdy do not expect children to do well `nd were | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
complacent with the low pass rate which would lead to kids behng | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
unemployed and relying on state benefits. Now we have these same | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
schools with the same popul`tion delivering a 75% top pass r`tes We | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
should be celebrating that. Instead of being praised we are getting the | :19:41. | :19:50. | |
opposite. Thank you. What is a future for Birmingham schools? It is | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
suggested that the see more of them run by super heads, experienced | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
leaders at the top of their game. Then Godfrey has been examining how | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
some schools are run more lhke businesses. When the Prime Linister | :20:06. | :20:16. | |
wanted to showcase his educ`tion reforms, he came here. It is not | :20:17. | :20:31. | |
about the adults or their own political and religious views. It is | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
about children and about thd education of young people. Liam | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
Nolan is the headteacher here and that's to free schools in | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
Birmingham. They are rated outstanding. The school is hn the | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
city centre and is a free school that opened last year. More could | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
follow. Have been approached by the Government of the leadership to the | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
schools involved in the Trojan Horse investigation? of course I have been | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
in discussions about what is happening in burning and about how | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
an icon as a national leader, and we as a national support school, can | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
help of the schools that ard currently facing troubles. There is | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
now a trend emerging which sees academies being taken on by | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
charitable trusts. These ard often led by a headteacher with a track | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
record for turning them arotnd. Trust is something that | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
Birmingham's education systdm needs to win back. Last year, this primary | :21:28. | :21:37. | |
school joined six of the schools to former Birmingham's co`oper`tive | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
trust. They are state funded but run independently by the City Council. | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
In recent inspections, thred were rated outstanding by Ofsted. We have | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
changed how we conduct our leetings. I was a rigorous progress and we | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
shared it across the trust. There is a benchmarking there and thdy check | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
we are doing the procedures correctly. Seven`year, the heads and | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
governors of the schools ard being trained as one team. we recognise | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
that the role of the local `uthority is perhaps diminishing and that | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
particularly for primary schools, it would be very easy to remain | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
isolated. So, what do schools clubbing together mean to ptpils? We | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
get to make great friends and we have days together. Because there | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
are different schools we can all lead `` lend our ideas to e`ch | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
other. One idea is that schools should be run like a business. if | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
they were a department stord, we would have a clear set of dhrectors | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
and a CEO who sets the tone across every store in the country. It is by | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
no means the definitive answer. There are other trust schools | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
failing in the West Midlands. But there is a feeling here in | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
Birmingham that more schools are set to break away from the local | :23:00. | :23:08. | |
authority. That is one posshble way forward. . Birmingham has bden put | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
in the spotlight today for the wrong reasons. Teaching took a back`seat | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
to politics and weather has been no shortage of strong and conflicting | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
opinions. the need to protect our children from extremism and our | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
nation's traditions of tolerance and liberty. I'm proud to be part of the | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
school and I love the school. It breaks my heart to see what is being | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
said about this school. I jtst do not recognise this as the school I | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
have worked at. This has put a lot of pressure on the school. @ lot of | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
teachers are getting very stressed. But we must carry on as we `re. | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
Governors did not live up to the high standards set by pupils, staff | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
and the school. They're delhvering outstanding results in the poorer | :24:05. | :24:17. | |
parts of the city. Bags are one of the schools placed in speci`l | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
measures now. We have had the report, where does it go from here? | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
It is only just beginning. Birmingham City Council tod`y said | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
they are going to come up whth an action plan. They are also ` | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
painting a link officers to every school to liaise directly whth the | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
council and the head. And wd are still waiting for their own internal | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
investigations. On top of that, we have this Government enquirx that | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
Michael Gove ordered. We expect to hear about that sometime late in the | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
summer. This is all highly contentious and people feel longer | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
this goes on, the more divisions it will create and I'm afraid ht looks | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
as if it will go on for months to come. So one subject dominating the | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
headlines today. But for more stories across the Midlands take a | :25:09. | :25:10. | |
look at our website. The Day after tomorrow will offer | :25:11. | :25:27. | |
much hope for the future and longer term as well. After tomorrow it will | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
be burned, and dries up frol Wednesday onwards and is looking | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
largely sunny apart from cloud at the weekend. But as long as we | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
maintain the values we had today we should be laughing. The southeastern | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
corner of the region today got the best of the temperatures throughout | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
the region. 23 Celsius therdfore Coventry. However, they also saw the | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
worst of the downpours and hn that respect, they are still subject to a | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
warning over the next hour or so for more scattered, heavy and thundery | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
showers leading to localised flooding possibly. But for tonight, | :26:04. | :26:13. | |
wet across the eastern half of the region. It is looking stridd towards | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
the end of the night, with ` lot of cloud and very humid and warmer | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
Temperatures dropping to a linimum of 13 Celsius the most but no lower | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
than 11 degrees. You can sed what is waiting in the wings there, a hint | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
of what is to come tomorrow. These will die down initially, we have a | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
clutch of angry looking showers there which will hold off until the | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
afternoon tomorrow. So we bdgin on a dry note with plenty of sunshine for | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
some places. After midday, they start to race in. The showers come | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
from the West and could be puite heavy and thundery. They max even be | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
hail. The temperatures should reach 19 degrees. A slightly fresher day | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
and there is a south`westerly breeze, too. The pressure bdgins to | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
build from the South after tomorrow which will kill off the majority of | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
showers on Wednesday morning. So for tomorrow evening and the first part | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
of the night we still have showers to contend with. They should fade | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
away through the early hours of Wednesday morning and leave us with | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
a much drier picture for thd remainder of the week. Wedndsday is | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
dry with plenty of sunshine, but the pick of the week is Thursdax in | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
terms of sunshine. Temperattres were gradually climb back into the low | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
20s and after that they could be more in the way of cloud, btt it | :27:31. | :27:38. | |
will remain dry. I will be back at 10pm with more news about the Ofsted | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
inspectors. THROWS VOICE: 'A weekly treat | :27:42. | :27:54. | |
