Jahangir Akbar, a former headteacher at Oldknow Academy, one of the schools in Birmingham where claims of Trojan Horse were made, had been the first to be given an “indefinite” teaching ban, as he was accused of misconduct.

However, the conduct panel's verdict means that Akbar can reapply after five years to have his ban set aside.

The former acting head of the school had been accused of trying to “eliminate” Christmas celebrations at the school, as well as “undermining tolerance” of other beliefs.
