The headteacher at Michaela Community School in Brent claims allowing prayers - one of the five pillars of Islam - risks undermining inclusion and social cohesion between pupils.

The two-day hearing in London before Mr Justice Linden ended on Wednesday. The judge said he would deliver his ruling as quickly as possible.
