A high-achieving north London school, previously dubbed Britain\u2019s strictest, is facing a High Court challenge from a Muslim student over a decision to impose a \u201cprayer ban\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The student, who cannot be named, alleges that the policy introduced by the Michaela Community School in Brent is discriminatory and had \u201cfundamentally changed\u201d how she feels \u201cabout being a Muslim in this country\u201d, a judge heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah Hannett KC, representing the student only to be referred to as TTT, told the court that the policy had the \u201cpractical effect of only preventing Muslims from praying because their prayer by nature has a ritualised nature rather than being internal\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The barrister said it was \u201ca ban uniquely on Muslim prayer\u201d, stopping pupils praying \u201cat a time as required by Islam\u201d, under which it is part of the \u201cfive pillars\u201d of the faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
