Church schools in 'inclusive' vow

New Church of England schools should offer at least a quarter of places to pupils from outside the Christian faith, the government has been told.

The Catholic church also said it would be more open about the proportion of non-faith groups within its schools.

Bishop Stevenson said other faith schools should not be made to do this.

This report on "community cohesion" called for schools dominated by one race or faith to offer at least a quarter of their places to pupils from other backgrounds.

Bishop Stevenson said the commitment was that new Church of England schools should have at least 25% of places available to children with no requirement that they be of practising Christian families.

So, if I read this correctly, if the school is Muslim, these rules won't apply? Why?

Religion - HAH! They pick up a scent of desperate need for 'something' for the disillusioned masses, so instead of educating, they try to manipulate. Again, funny how history repeats itself!
