It is still a requirement
On the OFSTED check sheet that a school should provide a 'collective act of worship' once a week. Most schools don't bother with this but, keen to improve our standings, I was asked to join some other students and teachers to discuss how we could introduce elements of spirituality into each subject (I was chose for being good at Philosophy, not for being religious).

Have you ever sat down and tried to have a series conversation about how to introduce elements of spirituality into maths and PE?

I think the teachers realized I wasn't taking it seriously when I suggested that English classes could be conducted in the Lotus position.

Daft, isn't it?
In our secular nation, school prayer is required by law, and in the bible-thumping USA it's illegal in state schools.

This
And not only this, but aforementioned worship must also be 'broadly Christian in nature.'

This fills me with rage.

and ironically
they teach Creationism in some schools. So much for church/state separation.
