Parents of pupils at Birmingham's only Muslim school have staged a protest over plans to replace its board of governors after allegations of poor teaching and management.
The demo at Al-Hijrah School in Bordesley Green was in response to moves by Birmingham City Council to remove the existing team of governors and replace them with a new team.
The school is not one of the 25 being inspected as part of the Operation Trojan Horse investigation into allegations that hardline Muslims were plotting to take over schools in the city.
Following an inspection in December 2013, Al-Hijrah was placed in special measures.
A follow-up visit in April of this year by Ofsted found that 'governance remains inadequate'.

84-year-old helps to trap bank-card conman
An 84-year-old woman from Solihull has helped to catch a conman who tried to trick her in to handing over her bank cards and PIN numbers.
The 48-year-old phoned his intended victim with a scare story claiming her bank card had been used fraudulently and said cash had been taken from her account.
He told the elderly lady to hand over her bank details, including PIN numbers, in order to block further transactions and then told her a specialist courier would arrive to collect her cards and complete security checks.
The pensioner went along with the story and pretended to be taken in by his claims but by the time he had turned up she had reported the suspicious call to her daughter and they alerted police.
Moments after the 48-year-old emerged from a taxi to collect the cards officers, who were lying in wait, stepped in to make a doorstep arrest.
The man from Bordesley Green is now being questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and police are reminding people to be vigilant about who they pass their personal information on to.
