Faith schools in England will no longer have to offer up to half of their places to children who don’t belong to their religion, under changes to state school admissions rules sneakily announced by the government, after serious lobbying by the Catholic Church.
I propose, therefore, that the 100% funding they get from the state is also scrapped. I don't object to faith schools. I do object to them being funded by the state.
