Home Secretary Theresa May has denied Labour allegations that she broke the Ministerial Code by authorising the publication of a private letter to Michael Gove about alleged extremism in some Birmingham schools.
An Ofsted report on an alleged plot by Islamist extremists to take over schools in the Midlands seen by ITV News has found that too little was being done to safeguard students at one of the schools from the risks associated with extremism.
The report also expressed concerns over recruitment and found weaknesses in the curriculum.
Park View Academy, one of the schools which has been under investigation over the plot, is to be placed under special measures, ITV News understands.
The leaking, from her department, of a letter to Michael Gove, raises serious questions for the Home Secretary to answer.
One school was praised by Ofsted for using money from the pupil premium to pay for a number of cultural trips to Saudi Arabia.
Six Birmingham schools will be rated 'inadequate' and several more downgraded. Council officials have been criticised for failing to act.
