Our reporter Yunus Mulla has been following the story. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Their allegations concern the activities of a number | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
of people connected to Clarksfield Primary School | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
in Oldham and claims of a Trojan Horse style plot | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
The Sunday Times reports the head teacher, Patricia O'Donnell, | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
has expresed concerns about her own safety | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
after receiving death threats and aggressive verbal abuse, | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
and that the head teachers' union NAHT is currently supporting | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
a number of members in the Oldham area with a variety of apparent | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
Now, the school was criticised by Ofsted in 2013 for its | :00:58. | :01:10. | |
quotes a confidential report on the views of local authority | :01:11. | :01:21. | |

to reflect their interpretation of Islam, and were behaving in a way | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
which harassed and sought to intimidate school staff, | :01:29. | :01:30. | |

an extremist and was not found to have intimidated anyone. | :01:38. | :01:39. | |

plot against the head teacher and had only got involved in | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
the school to improve it because of his Muslim beliefs. | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Mr Ashraf is known locally for his charity work and said | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
he was concerend about the damage this could do to his reputation | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
They said they take allegations of this kind very seriously | :01:58. | :02:08. | |

sunshine, but predominantly the clouds have been -- the skies have | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
