it has been reported on this evening's Central News that parts of the DfE report into the Park View Academy schools trust (and others) have been leaked to the Daily Telegraph.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/10775755/State-schools-isolate-non-Muslims.html
the leaked sections of the report tend to suggest that some of the allegations (gender-segregated classes, redacted curriculum, no music or arts lessons for primary pupils) have evidence to back them.
Chair of Governors Tahir Alam (who is allegedly receiving undeclared four figure sums from the 3 Park View schools as a "consultant") is said to be "disappointed" at the leaking of the report.

These are Academy schools, outside of direct local authority control, and therefore free to plough their own furrow, within certain guidelines. On balance, was the creation of these bodies a good idea?

indeed they were -

Complete rubbish of course. Roman Catholics have always schooled their children separately.

not "always". there were more than a few catholics in the state school I attended in London. some (but not all) were withdrawn from RE lessons, as was their right under prevailing legislation.
same for ours, we had pupils of other faiths, not many - they were excused the weekly trip to the church
