Sir Michael described some of the findings as “deeply worrying and in some ways quite shocking”.
According to the report, head teachers had been “marginalised or forced out of their jobs”, and there was evidence of an “organised campaign to target certain schools”.
But some parents have accused Ofsted of looking for extremism.
