In late 2013, the city of Birmingham and the whole of the United Kingdom was rocked when an anonymous letter appeared alleging a conspiracy to Islamise Birmingham schools. But what was life like before this letter emerged? Four of the men whose names and reputations were dragged through the incident speak on what life was like at the schools before the letter, why they got into education in the first place and how they reacted when they first heard about the letter itself.

This is part 1 of a 3 part series going behind the scenes on what life was like Inside the Trojan Horse.
