| "the local state-funded Church of England primary school had no qualms about admitting our devoutly Muslim next door neighbours' children, a fine example of one's religion not getting in the way of receiving a good education. " Christian faith schools are generally popular with non-Christians because they believe that the ethos will be closer to their own than a secular school. Conversely the entry criteria of many faith schools would give priority to children from other religions (Christian or non-Christian) if they couldn't fill the school with their own faith. This is presumably what happened in your example in Reading. Not sure how it relates to Gunnersbury where they are already turning away children from Catholic families. |
