Tauheedul Islam Boys School is to become the first Islamic school to start a British Army cadet force.
The school is part of the newly re-branded Star Academies Trust formerly the Tauheedul Education Trust.
The academy has not sent an official confirmation out and when contacted today by Asian Image said they would not be commenting.
The announcement was instead made on social media alongside an opinion piece by the Times Newspaper.
We are proud that Tauheedul Islam Boys' School in Blackburn will become the first Islamic Faith School in the UK to start an army cadet force #WeAreStarhttps://t.co/4Fvq02FTan https://t.co/VGGAyCFwbh
