He claimed some actively stop him preventing children being taught in unregistered schools.

Cities and towns such as Birmingham, Bradford and Luton must recognise their duty in protecting children, he said.

Ofsted is preparing to take six schools to court but cases may collapse.

Sir Michael said in The Times: “Some of our lawyers are saying that our cases are very robust.

“But what the courts might say is that the local authority has been into some of these places but don’t want to upset community relations, so they ignore it.”

He added: “They have to see this as a serious problem, identify where these places are and close them down.”
