What are the unique practices at 'Britain's strictest school'??

Lunchtime poetry 詠唱するing, 国家の 国家 singing, 制限s on socialising, silent 回廊(地帯)s and constant 監督 form part of the 'unique ethos' of a school dubbed Britain's strictest, a 裁判官 was told.

詳細(に述べる)s of Michaela's practices and its 'ultra-strict 施行' of behaviour 支配するs were 明らかにする/漏らすd by lawyers during the 審理,公聴会 of the student's 合法的な challenge.?They 含む:

- 'Family lunch', poetry 詠唱するing and singing the 国家の 国家

At lunchtime, children cannot choose where they sit in the school's halls but are 配分するd to (米)棚上げする/(英)提議するs of six depending on their year and form.

The first stand behind their 議長,司会を務めるs and 詠唱する poetry from memory and a teacher 始める,決めるs a 義務的な topic of conversation for pupils to discuss. The 目的(とする) is to 'develop the 技術 of conversing at a meal (米)棚上げする/(英)提議する'.

Children also have 始める,決める 役割s, such as collecting food or きれいにする (米)棚上げする/(英)提議するs. Only vegetarian food is served to 避ける 分割 on racial or 宗教的な lines.

Students also have to sing the 国家の 国家 twice a week.

- The Michaela '十分な stop'

Pupils must end every interaction with teachers with 'Sir' or '行方不明になる'.

- '跡をつけるing' in lessons and 'constant 監督'

Under the 跡をつけるing system, pupils 'must 支払う/賃金 constant attention' to the teacher during lessons. There is no time in during classes where children may socialise with others.

Teachers are 特に placed on 回廊(地帯)s, staircases and at the door of the 洗面所 to 監督する children during breaks.

- Silence in 回廊(地帯)s

Students move around the school's 狭くする 回廊(地帯)s in 選び出す/独身 とじ込み/提出する and in silence and can only 認める staff.

- The '支配する of four, no more'

Groups of more than four pupils are not 許すd, 含むing when in the school yard.

Michaela is a school that 作品 奇蹟s in London's inner-city.?

ADVERTISEMENT

But our families choose us not just because of the 驚くべき/特命の/臨時の learning and 接近 to social mobility that we 供給する.?

They recognise that our 伝統的な values create an 環境 that is a joy to be in. Our children are friends with each other across racial and 宗教的な divides.

At the two 'Welcome Events' that all parents must …に出席する before sending their child to Michaela, I run through everything that makes Michaela different from other schools: constant 監督, silent 回廊(地帯)s, no 祈り room, 平易な ways to get 拘留,拘置, strict uniform etc. If parents do not like it, they do not need to send their children to us.

Ever since the idea of Michae la began in 2011, our detractors have railed against our strict 支配するs and 伝統的な values. Their patronising thinking goes like this: '民族の 少数,小数派 families cannot かもしれない know what they want for their children. Those choices must be made for them.'

Last year, we watched our イスラム教徒 pupils put under 圧力 by a tiny number of others to 急速な/放蕩な, to pray, to 減少(する) out of the choir, to wear a hijab.

I watched one of my 黒人/ボイコット teachers be 人種上 乱用d and 脅迫してさせるd, another teacher had her home nearly broken into, and yet another had a brick thrown through her window.

In 2014, 30 per cent of our intake was イスラム教徒. It is now 50 per cent. We are over-subscribed. If our families did not like the school, they would not 繰り返して choose to send their children to Michaela.

There is a 誤った narrative that some try to paint about イスラム教徒s 存在 an 抑圧するd 少数,小数派 at our school. They are, in fact, the largest group. Those who are most at 危険 are other 少数,小数派s and イスラム教徒 children who are いっそう少なく observant.

What does it mean to be the headmistress in a school which tries to 支持する our 株d British values, when different 選挙区/有権者s within our diverse society want いつかs …に反対するing things in the 指名する of their 宗教的な かかわり合いs?

It means asking everyone to 妥協.

We teach Jehovah's 証言,証人/目撃するs Macbeth as a GCSE 実験(する), even though it has witches in it. We 申し込む/申し出 Christians 改正 classes on Sundays.

We tell Hindus our plates will have been touched by eggs.

And we don't have a 祈り room for イスラム教徒s.

At Michaela, we 推定する/予想する all 宗教s and all races to make the necessary sacrifices to enable our school to 栄える. The 広大な 大多数 do so without (民事の)告訴.

People of all 約束s tell me that Michaela is more Christian, more カトリック教徒, more Islamic, more ユダヤ人の or more Hindu than schools they have seen どこかよそで. This is because our 強健な yet respectful secularism is 連合した to those 伝統的な values that all 宗教s 株.

We eat vegetarian food at lunch to enable us to break bread across racial and 宗教的な divides.

It is more of a challenge f or a multicultural school to 後継する. One need only look at the schools that 最高の,を越す the '進歩 8' chart [which 対策 the 進歩 pupils make between the ages of 11 and 16]: the 広大な 大多数 are 約束 schools of one 宗教.

世俗的な schools must be 許すd the same 権利 that 宗教的な schools have: the 権利 to まとまり, the 権利 to 拒絶する 分割. Everyone is welcome in our community - but it has its own 身元 which we 招待する everyone to belong to.

So we sing 'God Save The King' because our country and our 旗 部隊 us. If we are 説 that 存在 an 民族の 少数,小数派 AND 存在 British are 相いれない, then as a nation, we are in 深い trouble.

For 25 years I have been in school at 6:45am, working 12 to 15-hour days, always with おもに brown and 黒人/ボイコット kids from the inner city. Our detractors' narrative: that I hate children, that I hate イスラム教徒 children, にもかかわらず more and more イスラム教徒 families choosing our school over the years and my own grandmother 存在 イスラム教徒, is 明確に nonsensical.

I have chosen to stay with the Michaela 事業/計画(する) and I continue to fight to defend our way of life. Why? Because I believe in something bigger than myself.
