Britain’s “strictest headteacher” has said there will be despair among many parents and children at her school if a prayer ban is overturned, and pledged that she will not divide children according to race or religion.
Katharine Birbalsingh, head of Michaela Community School in Wembley told the Evening Standard that she and her teachers were “nervous but hopeful” about the outcome of a legal challenge to the school’s ban on prayer rituals.
