No gym has closed. A gymnastics club has been told to find somewhere else to hold its classes after rejecting the chance to continue using the school, but later in the evening. However it is welcome to use the school premises until the end of the current term (3rd April).
I will be incredibly surprised if the talkative Mr Perry has not found space elsewhere by then - or else come round to the idea of remaining at the school with a later start time. After all, as he was so keen to tell the papers, its 250 kids, five nights a week. I can't see him being keen to just pack that in.
Of course the cold hard facts don't make quite such an eye-catching headline, so it's not surprising so many people have been misled by the Daily Express' take on this ("School gym forced to shut by muslims").
