At Michaela, there may be “no type of separation or segregation”. The ethos is easy: schooling comes first. As an illustration, meat was once served at lunchtime, however Muslims prevented the pork, Hindus prevented the meat, after which pupils began to segregate. So, meat was taken off the menu fully guaranteeing everybody now eats collectively as one. Equally, when one Muslim pupil began praying within the playground at lunchtime, then was ultimately joined by others, in Ms Birbalsingh’s phrases, this grew to become a “critical problem to highschool tradition”. The governors voted 11 to 1 to ban all prayer — and one pupil took authorized motion, claiming its strategy to prayer is discriminatory.
