On Monday, Lord Young, the director of the Free Speech Union and co-founder of the West London Free School, said he agreed with Ms Birbalsingh’s comments.
He wrote on X: “If people are worried that [Sir Hamid] will encourage secular school leaders to visit Tauheedul Islam Boys’ School and Tauheedul Islam Girls’ School to learn from their success, they shouldn’t be.
