Friend won appeal based on lie

[Cartwrightandson]

Just found out a friend has won her appeal based on a lie.

For admission to church of England school, it's church attendance every 2 weeks for over 2 years, friend was awarded 25 points when minimum or last child admitted received 30 points. Friend has got member of the catholic church to write a supporting letter stating church attendance was over 2 years. When it wasn't.

I'm just stunned..this isn't the person I know, lying like this. It means someone else's child won't get a place, as it was oversubscribed..

Coming from Scotland I can’t tell you how hilarious I find it that a Catholic would willingly choose a Protestant school, or that a priest would collude in enabling them to go there.

And I am not surprised. Why would any non Catholic or a non Orthodox subject her child to Catholic school? It is not łike with CoE schools where hardly there is any religion

Because their scores on numeracy and literacy are through the roof compared to other local schools? Because class sizes are smaller and bullying is non existent? Kids can tolerate a few fairy tales if it gets them a good education.

Class sizes are not smaller and many good Catholic schools are way beyond PAN.
Bullying exists everywhere. It is just discipline and values that change the frequency of it. It is also how strict the Catholic are in dealing with it.

A vast number of kids in Catholic schools are of European origin: Polish, Portuguese, Irish. In big cities they account for more than half of the school

I don't think atheist understand the extent of religion that is in Catholic schools. They thing it is just every day prayers as in CoE
No, it is not. The Catholic RE is at GCSE even.

My children went to a CoE primary (two nearest were both CoE, this one had a nursery). One of my fellow school governors, whose father was a Vicar and Canon, sent her children to the RC secondary school because there aren't any CE secondaries round here. Specifically for religious reasons, not academic or pastoral ones.

(I was as surprised as you, thinking surely a Christian parent wouldn't want them to be somewhere they weren't accepted at communion, but she considered it better than a secular alternative.)

Really odd especially because he was a vicar

This a thousand times

Beat the discriminatory bastards at their own game

Why? We are a CofE country.

Are “we” indeed? Did you miss that Scotland voted No in the Independence Referendum?

she assumes everybody here is from England and refers to her country which is England and not United countries... United Kingdom

No it's almost like people shouldn't lie to get into anywhere...but it's popular on here to accept what we wouldn't accept anywhere else because people choose to attend a school that already has rules in place, then hate and thwart those rules. A for Good behaviour and Entitlement.

You are carried away. Churches are full of people in all ages. You are talking about minorities
