An Ofsted report into independent faith schools has found that one in Leicester is not up to scratch and a further two "require improvement".
Inspectors from the education watchdog have visited 22 faith schools across the country in the last four months, including Leicester Islamic Academy, in London Road, Al-Aqsa School, in Wayne Way, and Jame'ah Girls Academy in Rolleston Street.
They found that Leicester Islamic Academy was "inadequate" overall, and the other two "required improvement".
Inspectors said standards that impacted on pupils' welfare, health and safety at Leicester Islamic Academy, were not met and procedures for child protection training were not rigorous enough.
Opportunities for pupils to learn about other faiths were also said to be "limited" and the school improvement plan "not fit for purpose".
Inspectors said that governors and senior leaders did not have sufficient knowledge about Independent School Standards.
