Oratory School
So, If you follow this board you've probably noticed I'm a teacher and in the interests of not being caused of of pushing an agenda I will say now that while I'm not vehemently against any schools (except probably free schools) I have always been uncomfortable with the way that Faith schools define religious observance and the effect this has on families who observe but can't fit arbitrary rules on quantity or quality of observance.
I have always said that the 'rules' often benefited white middle class parents above all other groups - I'm glad that such a well known school has been caught out for this.
Am I being overly optimistic to hope that this might be the kick up the backside up faith selective education needs?!
