From Telegraph-The Church of England today signalled the creation of a new wave of faith schools with no places reserved for Christians to ensure they properly “serve their local community”.
Rising numbers of schools established in the future will operate “open admissions policies” to give equal priority to non-believers and the children of other faiths, it emerged.
The CofE’s newly-appointed chief education officer said the Church wanted to expand the number of Anglican school places to address the crisis in primary education.
It is estimated that an additional 130,000 places will be needed within the next three years because of a rise in the birth rate combined with the effects of immigration in some areas.
