Mum says her Muslim children were 'made to say the Lord's Prayer' at school

A mum claims her Muslim children were made to say the "Lord's prayer" in school.

Emma Ben-Saīd said that she complained to Weston Point Community Primary School, in Runcorn, when her two children said they had to perform the Christian "Our Father" prayer. The 35-year-old, who also attended the school as a child, said the teacher and interim headteacher knew the children were Muslim and that it happened multiple times despite her raising the issue with them.

She said she is now "physically and mentally exhausted" dealing with issues she has with the school. Emma was one of several parents who contacted the ECHO to raise concerns about an apparent culture shift at the school.
