We are moving soon to a small village. My children have been attending a schools that are not religious, and quite multi-faith. I am not religious.
There are two primary schools in the village - one C of E and the other Catholic. Both have a good reputation. I have just called both schools and there are only spaces in the Catholic school for my children. To be honest I really do not want them at a Catholic school..I do not believe there should be religion in schools, and if I had to choose, I would have much rather them be at the C of E.
I have read their prospectus and the vast majority of that seems to be Catholic this, prayer that, worship this... It just doesn't sit well with me.
The C of E school is only 0.2 miles away, and a lot more fluffy - the Catholic school is 0.7-1 mile (as you would have to cross a rather busy road via an underpass)
Can I appeal? Happy to porky pie it if I need to.. I have read a lot about people trying to get children into Catholic Schools - what about non religious parents refusing a place - can this be done?
Thank you all - this is my first post, have been hovering around for a while - fantastic forum :)
