Many Birmingham schools have come under speculations and received flak due to the “Trojan Horse” scheme. Another such example in Birmingham is Small Heath, a non-faith secondary school. Small Heath was once regarded as an outstanding school; however, it will now be ranked as inadequate.
After the previous non-religious head left, the staff have been in commotion. During their visits to the school, Ofsted found that the curriculum had become too constrictive.
Mrs Shanaz Khan, the new headteacher at Small Heath, previous deputy head of Cathays High School in Cardiff has been allegedly backed by several key plotters in Trojan Horse which encourages the removal of non-Muslim headteachers from schools to be replaced by strict Islamic practices at several schools in Birmingham.
