A Muslim school in Britain has prohibited girls from eating lunch until after the boys have finished, an Ofsted chief has told MPs.
Al-Hijrah school in Birmingham segregates boys and girls despite a Court of Appeal ruling in 2017 that found it was unlawful and decidedly un-British, according to Luke Tryl, director of corporate strategy at Ofsted.
Telegraph.co.uk reports: Addressing the women and equalities select committee, he said that Ofsted inspectors are trying to hold schools account for discriminating against girls but feel “isolated” when their stance is not backed up by ministers.

“Our inspectors are going out and having to make some quite tricky judgements where there are those potential clashes [between equalities laws and religious freedoms],” Mr Tryl said.
“We perhaps don’t always feel we get the support we need from the rest of Government in pushing that forward.”
He said that Al-Hijrah school was enforcing a “very strict gender segregation” which included “denying the girls to have their lunch until the boys had had theirs”. “And we had some very discriminatory texts for instance, encouraging violence against women,” he said.
Mr Tryl said that Ofsted welcomed the Court of Appeal’s ruling that gender segregation within the school fell foul of equalities laws, but despite the case concluding in mid-2017 the school has still not de-segregated.
While Ofsted inspectors can highlight segregation in their reports, the power of enforcement falls to officials at the DfE.
Mr Tryl told MPs: “The Court of Appeal rightly said that schools needed a transition period where they were segregating and yet still we have not just Al-Hijrah but we have countless other schools, mixed schools which are segregating on the basis of sex.
“Similarly other schools who have refused to teach about sexual orientation issues. We have commented on reports but we haven’t seen a change there.
“This is where I talk about the isolation. We go out there. We make these tough decisions and we often take quite a lot of criticism for the stance we take but we don’t always see the enforcement action we would like to see.”

Islam is an infection and a stain on society, those savages are stuck in the dark ages, why are our dopey politicians letting those savages into our green and once pleasant land.
I’m emigrating to Trump’s America….FUCK ENGLAND!
England is full of beta males.
The politicians couldn’t give a fuck about any of us as long as they’re in power and things don’t affect them.
Islam is a nasty virus and goes against western values i.e. women being equal.
I think it’s about time we put a REAL man in power instead of these hooray Henry’s
This isn’t what the WWII soldiers of the Allied Forces fought for.
The Windsors will soon be seeking asylum from their “pedo-partner” in Rome.
They view us as infidels but want to live among us. They don’t integrate. They have their own separate culture. Slowly but surely they will transform England into the country they just left.
