A disciplinary hearing has cleared a teacher who was accused of “banning Christmas” at a Birmingham Trojan Horse-linked school.
It found the case against Asif Khan not proven.
Mr Khan, who worked at Oldknow Academy in Small Heath, had faced allegations of misconduct and his case was heard by the National College of Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) panel last November.
Among the allegations heard were that he stopped Christmas and Diwali celebrations at a school.
But the NCTL has announced that the case was not proven against Mr Khan and added it had been asked to publicise these findings by Mr Khan, even though he did not appear at the disciplinary hearing and is believed to be living in Qatar.
Oldknow Academy was one of several schools investigated amid claims of a Muslim hardliners’ plot to control them - known as the Trojan Horse affair.
Mr Khan, a classroom teacher, had been accused of agreeing “to the inclusion of an undue amount of religious influence in the education of pupils” at Oldknow, on or before 31 July 2014. He denied all the claims.
The disciplinary hearing was told how Mr Khan was alleged to have led pupils in shouting: “We don’t believe in Christmas, do we?”, and “Jesus wasn’t born in Bethlehem, was he?”.
The NCTL hearing was also told that Mr Khan allegedly asked the pupils to shout: “Do we send Christmas cards? No!” and “Do we celebrate Christmas? No!”.
Other accusations against him had included telling some male pupils to change for PE in a cupboard so they would not show their thighs, banning children singing during a production of The Wizard of Oz and turning his back on a woman as she offered to shake his hand.
He was also accused of sharing his personal beliefs with the children, for example telling the children they were not allowed pet dogs as they were Muslim.
A professional conduct panel of the NCT has concluded that the case was not proven.
The NCTL said: “This statement is published at the request of Mr Asif Khan.”
