History
The school was founded in 2000.[1]
The school stopped teaching secular subjects other than English and maths in January 2017, providing pupils' parents with a contract for them to sign accepting responsibility for their children's secular educations.[2][3] Boys were also not taught about women's contributions to society or about other cultures.[2][4]
The school received four full inspections from Ofsted, three of which were rated "inadequate".[1] The school was closed on 20th July 2018 following a deregistration order from the Department for Education.[1][2][5]
