Trojan Horse inquiries showed 'worrying' lack of collaboration - report

A report has been released claiming that there was a "worrying and wasteful" lack of collaboration between the numerous inquiries into the Trojan Horse scandal in Birmingham.

MPs from the Commons Education Select Committee have warned that questions also need to be asked about the reliability of Ofsted's inspections - after the watchdog failed to recognise the problems at the schools when it first visited.

Four separate investigations were conducted into the alleged plot by hardline Muslims to seize control of a number of school governing boards in Birmingham.

While no evidence of radicalisation was found, the findings, specifically Ofsted inspections, did raise concerns that in some schools governors had exerted inappropriate influence over how schools were run.
