The student took legal action against Michaela Community School in northwest London, stating the ban on prayer rituals was discriminatory and uniquely impacted her faith due to its ritualised nature.
Justice Thomas Linden dismissed the pupil's arguments, ruling that enrolling at the school meant accepting restrictions on expressing her faith. He found the school's prayer ban proportionate despite resistance from the student and her mother.
The student expressed disappointment but stood by her decision to challenge the ban, emphasizing her commitment to her religion. The school defended its policy, citing academic excellence and the need to maintain order.
