A Birmingham school at the centre of the Trojan Horse investigation spent £50,000 on a taxpayer-funded trip to Saudi Arabia for students and staff – and handed the contract to a travel company with links to a director at the school.
Oldknow Academy was among five Birmingham schools rated as inadequate and placed in special measures by Ofsted on Monday, amidst claims children were not being protected from extremism.
The school had described the Saudi Arabia tours as ‘‘modern foreign languages trips’’ with the ‘‘double benefit’’ of allowing students to perform Umrah, a religious pilgrimage.
Last May 40 students and eight staff travelled to Mecca and Medinah. The ten-day visit involved stays at luxury five-star hotels.

The decapitated heads of policeman and soldiers are lining the streets of Iraq’s second biggest city, a displaced Iraqi woman has revealed today.
Speaking from a refugee camp to which she fled after jihadists from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) invaded the northern city of Mosul yesterday, the woman told of the horrific treatment meted out to those who do not bow to their rapidly expanding rule.
It would appear the occupation of Mosul was made easier by the fact a reported 30,000 soldiers fled, leaving behind tanks and firearms as just 800 fighters approached.

The New York Times Defends Al-Qaeda
Why are some of the biggest Western mainstream media outlets – especially the New York Times – often apologetic, not only for radical Islamists, but for al-Qaeda, an organization responsible for, among other atrocities, killing nearly 3000 Americans on September 11, 2001?
