Britain’s Free Schools facing scrutiny
Government’s flagship policy called into question over failing standards and a narrowly focused curriculum.

The government has been accused of allowing schools in Britain to be taken over by religious groups at the expense of a wider education.
Free Schools, which are academies organised by parents, are a flagship policy of the government which says they are being set free from the state.
But recent incidents, including a damning report on a Muslim school, have led to questions about the policy.
