Colin Hart, director of the Christian Institute has said Ofsted and the Department for Education have given ‘inadequate attention’ to the ‘bullying of Christian pupils’. His remarks follow a recent letter from the schools’ chief inspector addressing the issue of schools caught up in the so-called Trojan Horse scandal, which alleged Muslim groups were seeking to gain control of schools in Birmingham. In a letter addressed to the Education Secretary, Mr Hart said it was ‘striking’ that official reports listed explicit examples of anti-Christian intolerance in several schools involved in the scandal but none of these are noted in the Ofsted reports on those schools. He wrote, ‘You will see they include anti-Christian chanting in assemblies, GCSE pupils who opted to learn Christianity being left to teach themselves and Christians being called ‘ignorant’ or ‘liars’ by teachers.’ He went on to say that it was disturbing to witness a ‘complete lack of any specific plans of action to tackle anti-Christian intolerance’.
