Schools' Religious Admission Rules

Categorised under the topics of Religion and faith communities and Schools.

That this House acknowledges that mutual trust and understanding between people of different backgrounds grows when they are schooled together, which also benefits social cohesion in society at large; and therefore urges that the current policy where new faith free schools in England cannot select more than half their pupils on faith grounds is extended to all types of state-funded faith schools.

This motion has been signed by a total of 5 MPs.
