There is very slow traffic on the A435 Haden Way in Birmingham around Haden Circus, drivers are warned.

A National College of Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) panel, sitting in Bournville, earlier accepted "credible" evidence from one staff member - known as Witness A - that Mr Ahmed's role at Park View Academy was "more akin to a general" in making sure pupils were "fed a diet of Islam" which stifled their development. 

In coming to its decision, the panel found a number of individual allegations proven, on the balance of probabilities.

It found that Mr Ahmed "reformed the school curriculum to exclude proper teaching of sex and relationship education, use of contraception and safe sex".

In July 2014, Peter Clarke's report, commissioned by the government, and Ian Kershaw's investigation, for the city council, differed in their conclusions, although neither found evidence of extremism in the schools. 

In January this year, an internal review by the Department for Education found it was contacted six times about matters relating to potential extremist infiltration in Birmingham schools between 1994 and 2013 and had "in the past lacked inquisitiveness".

And in March this year, MPs criticised a "worrying lack of coordination" between the five overlapping official inquiries into the affair.

The alleged so-called "Trojan Horse" plot prompted five inquiries.

In June 2014, Park View Educational Trust (PVET), which was widely seen as being at the centre of the so-called Trojan Horse allegations was accused of running schools which had "taken the Islamic focus too far", in a leaked draft report from the Education Funding Agency.

Ofsted then released its reports from inspections of 21 schools, following claims in an anonymous letter that hardline Muslims were trying to impose their view on a group of schools in Birmingham.  

Five of the schools - including three academies from PVET - were then placed in special measures.

A misconduct panel has found a teacher, who worked at a school investigated after the so-called Trojan Horse allegations emerged, did breach professional standards by including too much religious influence in pupils' education. 

Akeel Ahmed, aged 41, had denied a central allegation he had agreed with others, on or before March 31 last year, to the inclusion of "an undue amount of religious influence in pupils' education". 

The panel, sitting in Bournville today, found against Mr Ahmed, who formerly worked at Park View Academy in Alum Rock, Birmingham - which was investigated after allegations hardline Muslims tried to take over city schools, later dubbed the "Trojan Horse" plot.
