My son is starting reception in September. DH and I are both agnostics.
None of us grew up in this country and in our home countries schools are either religious (ie run by nuns etc) or 100% secular.
I asked some questions at the school meeting, and was told the school follows the curriculum, whatever that means, and that once a week during assembly they read a bible story, and that some may pray. They were being a bit vague, and somehow implied that they were trying to move away from it.
I understand that every school is different so no one can really tell m what to expect, but would you mind telling me your experience?
Also, if you are non-religious is it possible to ask for your child not to attend bible readings or prayers?
Thanks!
