It is not a church school.
This is why I can't understand all the Jesus nonsense that is on the curriculum.

Don't worry, next term will be about Mohamed.

In the interest of balance I think they should learn about atheism too.
and I don't mind if they learn about other religions as well.

When we were children
it was the fucking law that all schools had to have a Christian-themed assembly every day. At least things have moved on a little since then. Thanks, immigrants. For this, and for your lovely takeaways, if nothing else.

Thankfully my secondary school was such a lefty place that they did not adhere strictly to this
Their one concession was to allow some god botherers in once a year to spout some nonsense.
Is this no longer law then?
I recently discovered that the local priest gives regular assemblies at my son's school and we were invited to a "pop connection" concert at the school which turned out to be a load of "uplifting" songs taught to the kids by some fucking Jesus-by-stealth practitioners.

They changed the law a few years back.
To avoid upsetting the Muzzers etc.
