Dd is due to start reception in September at a Church School. It was easily the best school to support her and all our closest schools are all church schools anyway. As DH and I are atheists, I spoke with the HT, teachers and some parents and was reassured that the focus was more on general Christian values which felt ok to us. Now we have more information and there is more of a focus on religion than we thought. It's still the best school for DD and I wouldn't want my beliefs to stop her getting the best support she needs. She knows the very basics of different religions but I'm not sure how I prepare her for a school that will communicate Christian beliefs when her parents don't share them. I know I might be overthinking it and it could be a non issue but if anyone has any tips they would be appreciated.
