A Trojan Horse in Birmingham
Yarker, Patrick
FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, v56 n3 p451-455 2014
"Trojan Horse" has become journalistic shorthand for an apparent attempt by a small group in East Birmingham to secure control of local non-faith schools and impose policies and practices in keeping with the very conservative (Salafist and Wahhabi) version of Islam which they hold. In this article, Pat Yarker gives an account of two official reports into this highly complex "Trojan Horse" affair in Birmingham.
