(Schools Week) The proprietor of a faith school that segregated staff by their sex and prevented girls from studying certain subjects has been banned from managing schools.
Zafar Iqbal Khan, chair of the Muslim Rabia Boys and Girls School, has been disqualified from taking part in the management of independent schools — including academies or free schools.
The school, in Luton, was accused of “actively undermining” British values by ex-Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw in 2016.
Inspectors found male and female staff divided during training sessions, and two years earlier found girls could not study certain subjects.
