Jamiatul Ummah School In East London Fails Ofsted Inspection Over Books 'Promoting Stoning People To Death'

A Muslim school in east London has failed an Ofsted inspection after investigators found books in its library that promote "inequality of women and punishments, including stoning to death".

Inspectors found "inappropriate texts" in the Jamiatul Ummah School's library during a "very brief" tour, uncovering three books that "undermine the active promotion of the rule of British law and respect for other people".

The books, an Ofsted report released this month, said: "Promote inequality of women and punishments, including stoning to death, which are illegal in Britain and which do not reflect the school's ethos and integration."

The unannounced investigation at the Tower Hamlets school, which teaches 158 boys aged 11 to 16, was carried out on 25 November, and is the third inspection it has failed since October 2014.

The watchdog was at the all-boys private secondary school - which has annual fees of £3,400 - to assess what progress it had made in implementing an action plan to correct problems it had earlier identified. This was the second assessment.

In March 2015 inspectors found that seven of the independent school standards were not being met. The school had subsequently provided a plan to remedy the concerns, which Ofsted accepted in October 2015.

According to the Ofsted report, the school library was primarily used by sixth-form students until July 2015, but had remained closed since.

The report stated: "Although current students do not have access to the inappropriate material, past students did for some time and others will if the library is reopened and a full audit is not undertaken. In addition, the library is used for meetings, exposing participants to the material."

Ofsted noted an audit of "outdated, irrelevant or unsuitable material" had since been started by the Interim Principal. However, the report added that staff "have not been sufficiently vigilant about the availability of inappropriate texts in the library or sufficiently aware of the potential for unwittingly promoting extreme views".

Ofsted found that the standard concerning students' "spiritual, moral social and cultural development" was not met, because of the presence of the books: "This is because students' well-developed understanding of fundamental British values and tolerance of different cultures and beliefs could be undermined by some of the books that are in the library."

The Huffington Post UK was unable to reach the school for comment, but a spokesperson told MailOnline: "We recognise the concerns raised by Ofsted in respect of three books in the library, however, as Ofsted rightly noted, the library is locked and current students have no access to it.

"Ofsted also recognised that the content of these books, 'do not reflect the schools ethos of tolerance and integration'.

"Nevertheless, we are taking steps, and are at present auditing all materials in the library and those available within the school."

A previous Ofsted inspection at the school in October 2014 found the "curriculum was too narrow", the "assessment framework was not systematic or effective across all subjects" and "students did not develop a broad knowledge of cultures and faiths other than their own".

A report January 2015 identified "concerns about students welfare have not been recorded systematically or thoroughly", the school’s behaviour policy had not been "implemented effectively" and that the science room "poses risks to the welfare, health and safety of students, staff and visitors".

Ya get that,....

[wasabi]

Why can't we read these books ourselves and make up our own minds if the books on how to get others stoned is a good or a bad thing.

Good Job.

When Trump closes the dept of education in the states to save money they'll pretty much have free rein in the states so there's that.

[billy the kid]

Think all books supplied by Saudi Arabia.
In the past they were.

You're right, banning books in the name of political correctness makes the British Government little better than the Muslim fanatics.

[Kurgen]

maybe a little better

Here is the link to the latest OFSTED report which is mentioned in the OP article.

A quote from the OFSTED report:

Other than the availability of inappropriate texts, inspectors found no evidence to support the promotion of extremist views or radicalisation of students or staff. To the contrary, the students and staff present well-informed and positive views about the role of British Muslims and their responsibilities within the local community.

Put that quote back into context, like this;

Ofsted Report
Main findings
Quality of education provided

 The written policy on the curriculum has not been implemented effectively and this standard is not met. The policy is very clear about the school’s commitment to provide a curriculum that will produce good role models in society; the essential knowledge that students need to be educated
citizens in democratic Britain; and promote an awareness of and respect for a diversity of
cultures, values, beliefs and abilities.

 However, although an audit of resources is now being undertaken, staff have not been
sufficiently vigilant about the availability of inappropriate texts in the library or sufficiently aware
of the potential for unwittingly promoting extreme views.

Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils

The standard about students’ spiritual, moral social and cultural development is not met. This is
because students’ well-developed understanding of fundamental British values and tolerance of
different cultures and beliefs could be undermined by some of the books that are in the library.

 Other than the availability of inappropriate texts, inspectors found no evidence to support the
promotion of extremist views or radicalisation of students or staff. To the contrary, the students
and staff present well-informed and positive views about the role of British Muslims and their responsibilities within the local community.

Good.

Now read the full statement from OFSTED, not just your one and only cherry-picked paragraph from their report.
