Episode 2
A battle of beliefs in a return to Collington House, where the school governors struggle to reconcile their religious and cultural differences.
A battle of beliefs in a return to Collington House, a secondary school in the Midlands with a large proportion of students from Muslim families.
Part 1 saw new head Roz Taylor's inclusive multi-faith approach at odds with the beliefs of Abdul Lateef Shah, one of the Muslim parent governors.
Part 2 returns to the school some months later where the school governors are becoming increasingly polarised.
This is a fictional drama that attempts to gets behind the news headlines, examines what is actually meant by "Islamisation" and considers how different faiths can co-exist in our schools on a day-to-day level.
