Private Islamic school which has never been inspected by Ofsted tells girls to wear black robes with only a slit for their eyes - and the 'patron' is an 'extremist who condones striking the students'

'Extremist' Hadhrat Shaykh Maulana Adam Sahib has a guiding role at a Muslim school in Leicester where teenage girls have to wear a strict uniform which covers their entire body expect for their eyes. Pupils at the private Islamic school, which caters for over-16s, are taught to cover themselves fully in public. Their strict uniform is the niqab (right) - a long black gown that covers
their entire body except for slits for their eyes. Sahib - who appears to condone 'striking' students - is the founder and 'honorary patron' of the full-time girls' school. The school is one of six that operate out of the Jame'ah Uloomul Qur'an institution, in east Leicester (left). It is the only one that provides full-time education - between 8am and 2.30pm, Monday to Friday. The five other schools operate largely in the evenings and weekends, catering for boys and girls of a variety of ages. Sexes are understood to be segregated.
