My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, established a dedicated Due Diligence and Counter Extremism Division within the Department for Education in October 2010 in order to tackle the threat of extremism in schools. The Government's revised Prevent strategy, published in June 2011, set out a general assessment of the threat. The Government has always been very clear that there is no place for extremist views in any school.
