The former chairman of governors at an Islamic school in Birmingham has been banned from managing schools. Waseem Yaqub, who served on the governing board of Al-Hijrah School in the city, was found to have engaged in inappropriate conduct which made him "unsuitable to take part in the management of an independent school".
Mr Yaqub can appeal against the direction to the First Tier Tribunal within three months of being informed of the DfE's decision. Al-Hijrah School was placed into special measures following an inspection in December 2013. It was rated inadequate again after an Ofsted visit in March this year.
