“Revealed: Islamist plot dubbed ‘Trojan Horse’ to replace teachers in Birmingham schools with radicals”, said one Daily Mail article a few weeks after the story broke. These were the secondary schools Park View, Golden Hillock and Saltley, and primary schools Oldknow and Nansen. Many children at Park View and Nansen grow up in poverty, with all the associated problems – overcrowded homes, poor nutrition, chronic stress. Just six months after being established, Park View Educational Trust was running two schools: Park View and Nansen. All three Park View Educational Trust schools – Park View, Nansen and Golden Hillock – along with Oldknow and Saltley, were downgraded, accused of “failing to prepare children for life in modern Britain”.
