There was a huge amount of contreversy (sp) around it when it opened up. I don't really know too much about it as Derby is a few miles away from us and our local paper doesn't cover the area and I don't read the Derby Telegraph.
The school is currently under investigation for financial irregularities and the press must have picked up on this but focused on the hijab thing as from what I can gather from someone I know that works there, the hijab thing is nothing new. That, and the girls sitting at the back of the class, have been in force since the school first opened a year ago.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone!
