A Muslim student at a London school has lost a High Court challenge against its ban on prayer rituals.

Michaela School in Wembley was taken to court by the girl over the policy, which she argued was discriminatory. The non-faith state secondary school previously told the High Court that allowing prayer rituals risked "undermining inclusion" among pupils.

The free school's founder and head teacher Katharine Birbalsingh said the ruling was a "victory for all schools".

So why was this decision made? And what's been the reaction from students?
