It has been alleged that Park View Academy, a “Trojan Horse” school in Birmingham, had banned female students from participating in mixed sports as the teachers “did not want the girls' bits jumping up and down”. This was allegedly stated by the former principal of the school, Monzoor Hussain, to the school press officer, Susan Packer.
In a statement, Susan Packer said, “Monzoor Hussain told me that girls were not allowed to play, as the male staff felt uncomfortable. He said that 'the men did not want the girls to be seen with their bits jumping up and down.' This shocked me and made me feel very uncomfortable as I did not think it was appropriate for a principal to say that.”
She has also given evidence at a National College for Teaching & Leadership hearing in which five teachers were alleged of professional misconduct.
