A Muslim support teacher, who lost her claim for direct discrimination, indirect discrimination and harassment on religious grounds after she was suspended from work and then dismissed for insisting on wearing her veil, is to take her case to the Employment Appeal Tribunal.
Mrs Aishah Azmi had said that she was willing to remove her veil in front of children, but not if a male colleague were present.
The school and the local authority argued that pupils needed to see her face in order to understand what she was saying during lessons.
Mrs Azmi's lawyer has said that her appeal will again focus on alleged discrimination with regard to her religious beliefs.
