Islamic school 'faces closure'
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Parents of children at the Islamia school in Brent, north London, which is applying for state funding, were warned by the school's foundation yesterday that it may have to close if its proposals are rejected. The 180-pupil school has been campaigning for 10 years to be granted voluntary-aided status on the same basis as more than 4,000 state-funded Roman Catholic, Anglican and Jewish schools.
