Inside a Muslim School [30min]

Jenny Cuffe gains exclusive access to Al-Islah girls' school in Blackburn, UK, a privately run Muslim institution currently teaching nearly 200 students. It is situated above a mosque near Blackburn town centre. The school was founded in 1995 in response to demands from parents who were worried about the effect the state system might have on their children, and who favoured a strict Islamic ethos. Jenny meets teachers, students and some of their parents -- and finds out how Islam affects the curriculum, questioning whether these students are receiving a broad enough education.
