Our lady's Abingdon - how does it work for the non-religious?

[Kate1603]

Hi, we're thinking of sending our daughter, 6, to OLA, Oxfordshire. It's a Catholic school, and we're not religious. I really wanted a secular education for her, to give her the freedom to make up her own mind, but can't find that in Abingdon. Anyone have experience of OLA, they can share? Please.

Hi. I can't speak for the Junior School but my son is at the Senior School. We are not religious, but were looking for a co-ed school that had good pastoral care which is why we chose OLA. The religious side is definitely there - he finds the occasional Mass quite hard going to sit through - but it isn't overbearing. There are definitely a lot of different religions represented in the School too.
