Can DC convert to Catholicism by going to catholic school?

[stillsleeptraining]

They're in a catholic primary and I'd like them to go to the Catholic secondary. However, we're CofE and they're baptised CofE,

What will happen when it comes to all the kids going through confirmation? Would they be allowed to be confirmed in the Catholic Church?

Feeling really clueless!

Baptism is just that and accepted as such by both churches. In the Catholic faith there is Communion and then Confirmation. Being baptised and then going through with both sacraments confirms a person as a Catholic. If this was your DCs choice they could prepare for and take these sacraments, but there's no obligation.
Talk to the school priest/ RE teacher to confirm?

Are you saying you want your children to be catholic, and if so, why?

My DC went to catholic school (secondary) and didn't need to be catholic to go there.

Priests are usually quite good at spotting cynical conversions. It's up to them how they deal with the situation. Is the secondary school oversubscribed?

Sounds like you don't give a suit about religion just in it for the school.
How cynical

Read secondary school admissions policy

Wow! Schools and religion, except theory, shouldn't mix ... why should any pupil be included or excluded in a school because of their choice of god / no god

Very bluntly if you want to play this game you should have started a long time ago* or start trying to play now… by actually attending catholic mass???

Confirmation is generally at 13 so not sure what that has to do with anything…
What happened when everyone one else was taking first communion classes age 7/8?

if you are aiming for somewhere like st Michaels or Finchley catholic you will possibly struggle.

St M’s requires RC baptism cert and church attendance. For many other schools you'll essentially be above non denominational but below catholic applications. You’ll need to check admissions

*I say this as an RC who is up at the first sparrows fart to attend a drafty church with the least charismatic priest known to man every Sunday with a squirming under 2 year old. I would much prefer a different church/priest/option of times to attend mass BUT this is the church affiliated with our desired school and which is given 85% of entry places.

What? They are primary age, how can they possibly know if they want to be confirmed? They are much too young, tell them to not to worry and just enjoy their lives!

Confirmation is when a child is old enough to decide for themselves whether they genuinely believe and want to follow the teachings of the church without it being their parents choice. You literally cannot decide for them. You can ask for them to be included in the next round of classes for preparation for first holy communion. Do you attend the mass on Sundays?
