An independent Islamic school has again been found to segregate girls age 11+ from boys despite this being unlawful. If schools continue to put religious dogma before the law and the welfare of pupils, they must be shut down. secularism.org.uk/news/2024/06/f…

A Jewish Manifesto calls on parties to defend circumcision, nonstun slaughter & faith schools. Instead of encouraging faith groups to compete for privileges at the expense of human rights, we should ensure a level playing field for people of all beliefs. secularism.org.uk/news/2024/06/j…

We’ve opposed plans to convert a secular school in west London into a faith school. The change would allow religious discrimination in admissions and hiring, and create another mission field for the Church of England. secularism.org.uk/news/2024/07/n…

We’ve opposed proposals would turn Ealing Fields High School, which has no faith ethos, into a Church of England school. In an increasingly irreligious and religiously diverse society, our education system should be open and welcoming to all. secularism.org.uk/news/2024/07/n…
