I am racing ahead as it is still a couple of years before we need to start applying for primary schools, but want early advice. Most of the local primary schools are faith schools. There are two secular schools, but with large housing developments being built by them now, so their catchments will start shrinking.
DP and I are from a Christian background, but are non practicing. I don't want to get DC baptised just to get him into a good school if we will not then live the faith.
When it comes to applying will we be discriminated against by the faith schools? If yes, is there any way we could be prioritised for one of the non faith schools even if outside the catchment or would we have to go to a less popular school further away?
