"This is almost laughable.
You choose to send your child to a Catholic school
If you don't like that they have a focus on the Catholic faith then choose another school"
You are being borderline offensive here. Sometimes, try as you might, there are no alternative schools. I had a choice of incredibly religious CofE school with a head who greeted you with the words 'Peace be with you' and expected the reply 'and also with you,' as you would expect a priest or vicar to greet their congregation in church. The school had a school prayer, played hymns as the background music when the kids all entered or left the hall in groups for any reason, had numerous church visits. It's logo incorporates a cross and the head has had the school acknowledged as a school of outstanding religious education. This is the local state village school. My agnostic DC1 had a happy education there.
Otoh, there is the Catholic school, which (having had a very indoctrinated catholic upbringing myself) I veered away from. After DC2 suffered at the hands of a bullying class teacher and the head who backed his bully (and who could do with a few lessons in Christian compassion himself!) we sent him to the Catholic school as it was the only other state alternative. We live very rurally and to find a secular school we would have had to travel a considerable distance. I gritted my teeth and prepared for the worst but have found it's religious education to be fairly comprehensive in terms of world religions as well as teaching Catholic concepts well disguised as English, music, art, etc. The 9% of all teaching to be religious component does not get in the way for the school delivering an excellent education - DC2 is getting access to more science, language, sport and humanities than he ever did at the CofE school. There is an emphasis this year on Communion, but this is being driven by the parents as much as by the school on the parents social media group. I've decided to ignore it as we won't be taking part, and my son feels much the same way about it as he does football ie the other kids seem to be more into it than he is but thats ok.
In a perfect world all schools would be secular with a strong bias towards the moral and ethical education of children rather than religious. In my mind religion is not always morally or ethically right - too many atrocities are committed in it's name. However schools are not always secular. And even I, with my neutral stance on much of religion, acknowledge that a school that does not celebrate or educate about the great holidays such as Christmas or Easter is poorer for it. My children and I have discussed in length about Jesus's birthday, how do they know when it is, how they don't actually and the ancient Christians co-opted in an older festival, how Father Christmas and St Nicholas have incorporated gift-giving and the North Pole into Christmas and how all of it adds up to a magical time of year whichever angle you come at it from. We've done the same for Easter vs Eostre, and the whole concept of new life and how this applies to Christianity but also to the Easter Bunny and to chocolate eggs.
We've picked the best schools for each of our children and there are aspects of every school which don't always tick every box for every child but compromises often need to be made. The ridicule that is being sent the way of the OP for the compromises she has made in order to try and get her child the best start in life and an education that is best for him are somewhat, well, unchristian in their nastiness, and for that I'd suggest that you all go to confession later in the week and say 10 Hail Marys right now, and be grateful that Catholicism allows such getout clauses from such unkind behaviour.
