An academy trust in London has been accused of failing to uphold its legal requirement to teach Religious Education in its primary schools.
Parents and staff at Millbank Academy in Westminster, part of the Future Academies trust, have reported that the subject is not taught at the school, and it is also missing from pupil timetables.
