- Probe recommends ‘additional management guidance and training’ for staff
- Batley Multi Academy Trust said it ‘deeply regrets distress’ caused by episode
LONDON: A British teacher suspended over a row about showing an image of the Prophet Muhammad to pupils has been reinstated.
The religious education teacher was forced to apologize, having shown a class a caricature of the prophet during a lesson at Batley Grammar School, West Yorkshire, in March, prompting outrage from parents and members of the local Muslim community.
An investigation into the incident has determined that no offense had been intended, but recommended “additional management guidance and training” for staff to avoid a similar incident occurring in future.
Batley Multi Academy Trust, which runs the school, said it “deeply regrets the distress” caused by the episode, and the teacher would be permitted to return to work.
