MCB School Code
http://education.guardian.co.uk/schools/story/0,,2018191,00.html
A DfES spokesman said: "This is not official guidance and is not endorsed by the government, nor does it have any binding power whatsoever on schools.
"The Department for Education and Skills has no involvement with the document produced by the MCB. "We have already provided schools with a wealth of official guidance, which makes clear they should take into account, and recognise, the needs and cultural diversity of all their pupils regardless of their background."
The country's biggest heads' union warned that many of the MCB's demands - such as for individual changing room cubicles for all Muslim pupils - were "undoable".

WHO THE HELL DO THEY THINK THEY ARE ISSUING GUIDELINES FOR SCHOOLS? THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RIDE ROUGH SHOT OVER THE POLICIES SET OUT BY A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT. JUST BECAUSE SOME SCHOOLS NOW HAVE MAJORITY MUSLIM POPULATIONS, THEY FELT THEY HAD THE POWER TO ENDORSE THEIR POLICIES. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FORCE THEM TO REMOVE THE DOCUMENT FROM THEIR SITE.
MCB......
SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!
