POLICE are continuing to search an Islamic school on the border of the county as part of an anti-terror operation.

A Metropolitan police spokesman said officers were still making inquiries at the Jameah Islameah School in Catts Hill, Mark Cross, East Sussex, a few miles from Tunbridge Wells.

No one has been arrested at the school which is set in 54 acres with facilities for football, tennis, cricket and fishing, and including woodlands, farming and agricultural areas.

Imam Ahmed, priest the Tunbridge Wells Islmaic Centre in Camden Road, said the centre did not have any links with the school. He had visited the school and some people from the centre had been there, but he thought only one person there still had any link with it.

The Charity Commissioners are liaising with the police and the trustees of the registered charity which runs Jameah Islameah because of concerns about the trustees’ failure to submit its accounts and statutory returns on time.

It also has concerns following an Ofsted report in December 2005, which concluded that in many respects it did not meet the required standards for registration as an independent school.
