One woman, who had been interviewed for a position, claimed she was told she was not allowed to shake hands with male teachers to avoid insult.Another staff member, speaking anonymously to the Mail, said the school was like being in Pakistan.She said: Girls are treated very separately from boys, the girls sit at the back of the classroom.Boys go and eat first at lunchtime and then the girls are allowed to go...

Sue Arguile, branch secretary of the Derby National Union of Teachers, said the new demands stem from the Al-Madinahs free school status. She said: We have always had a number of concerns about this school ever since it was first set up, as essentially they can do what they like.There is no buffer between them and the state and no protection for staff and pupils...

if they want an islamic school then get money from somewhere else, not the taxpayer.

so if this time next year the school brings out new rules sayin all female teachers must wear the burka and all male teachers must grow a beard whether muslim or not, no staff can leave school building durin lunch break which means they either go hungry or eat halal, u'd all be fine with it ?

some places have a work dress code or uniform.. it reamins a choice if one wants to work at such an establishment.

this isn't just about dress code tho is it ?

@ recurv11 - 21.09.13 - 04:31pm In a decade or 2 thats gonna be a difficult option to take... Nonsense. Members of the muslim faith make up only 3 percent of the UK population at present. |

your figures are outdated ogdenz last census in 2011 was 4.8 percent plus the fact of copious amounts of illegal ones are not included in that figure!!

@ogdenz | 22 September 13 |

Ok..accepted re out of date figures.Copious amounts of illegals?...if they are illegal that means they are unaccounted for..so at best any figure would be just a guess?. Oh and 4.8 percent is hardly a high percentage is it?

No difference as these people are choosing to there. They're not being forced to convert at all or dress like that in their own time. Its a uniform issue and a non issue at that. Simple really, isn't it. |

they chose to work there yes, not knowin this was gonna be sprung on them at a later date... and like I said it isn't just a dress code issue is it ?
