The first Sikh-ethos "free" school in the country is preparing to open.
The Nishkam Primary in Birmingham will be in the first batch of 24 free schools across the country to begin teaching children this September.
It has been set up by the Nishkam Education Trust - a charity which already runs a private nursery in Handsworth.
The group had planned to open a grant-maintained primary school three years ago, but could not secure the funding.
Head of school, Narinder Brach, says the coalition government's free school policy gave the chance to do to revisit the plans.
