FAITH SCHOOLS..............
There had also been an election promise to remove the cap on faith free schools, which means that only 50% of places can be allocated on grounds of religion.

The government had promised to remove this and bring free schools into line with the admissions rules of other faith schools in the state sector, where they can allocate all places on faith grounds.

What is a free school?
Free schools are set up by groups of parents, teachers, charities, businesses, universities, trusts, religious or voluntary groups, but funded directly by central government.

They are often run by an "education provider" - an organisation or company brought in by the group setting up the school - but these firms are not allowed to make a profit.

The schools are established as academies, independent of local authorities. Unlike local-authority-run schools, they are exempt from teaching the national curriculum and have increased control over teachers' pay and conditions and the length of school terms and days.

What is a faith school?
State-funded faith schools have to follow the national curriculum but they can choose what they teach in religious studies.

Anyone can apply for a place but if the school is oversubscribed, faith schools can use religious criteria to select pupils. However, with the exception of faith grammar schools, they must offer a place to any pupil if a space is available.

House of Commons research last year found around a third of state-funded schools in England had a "faith designation". The vast majority were Christian, with a small number of Muslim, Jewish and Sikh faith schools.

But the government has reversed this promise - and instead says it will provide funds for local authorities to create a new generation of "voluntary-aided" faith schools.

These will be able to be fully selective on grounds of religion - and the funding for their creation will be taken from the pot of money set for the creation of new free schools.

Mr Hinds is signalling that all local authorities will be able to open new faith schools in this way if there is demand.

Existing faith academies and faith-based free schools will retain their 50% limit on the number of places they can allocate on the basis of faith.

About a third of all state schools in England are faith schools .



Mr Hinds is signalling that all local authorities will be able to open new faith schools in this way if there is demand. Oh yes and we know what faith !!!!!!!!!

Faith schools. So, when a pupil takes their exams and makes a complete balls of them, can they up their marks by saying that the really, really, believed that the answers they gave were correct? I mean, that's faith, ain't it.
If you don't have to give up your car because other people commit crimes in their cars, why should I have to give up my firearms because other people commit crimes with their firearms?

I say said pupil "hoped" his/her answers were correct! :grin: I vaguely remember a sermon about faith and hope and the preacher explained the 2 different issues. Can't remember the exact details!!!!! :shock: :(
