    Your child will have the opportunity to visit a mosque in KS1 and probably other places of worship too!

    Again, read my posts. I'm happy with that AS PART OF RE. Vicars coming into a non-faith state school to preach is unacceptable.

    If you hate it so much do not celebrate Easter or Christmas or even pancake day!

    Out of the three, only Pancake Day is really truly Christian.

    I've been reading, and reading your posts. It seems that you want your minority opinions acted upon despite the needs of the majority.

    You are also put-out that the school are effectively saying they think your daughter will become upset if she is removed rom class 3 times a day as per your will.

    I still think it would be a great idea to ask to sit in on assembly and see it first hand.

    I doubt it is a minority view. Apathy shouldn't be taken as desire.

    Why does it offend you so much?

    What? A) she girl didn't (I assume) attend a welsh medium school and B) of course they are taught English!!

    lol I assumed that we were talking about a welsh medium school - now english in a such an environment would ruffle more than a few feathers.........

    It is a minority view, if nearly 60% of the country say they are Christian. The schools can't be doing such a cultish job as you perceive, or the % would be much higher!

    It offends me because even as a minority you seem to think that you have the right to change something that the majority are happy with, and holds value.

    A lot of people think they should put themselves as Christian on the census just because they were baptised, or married in a church, even if they have no real active beliefs and never go to church.

    A more realistic indicator of how many people are practicing Christians is church attendance, which is only around 15% going once a month.

    It strikes me as odd that so many people were up in arms about Islam being promoted in a few schools in Birmingham but yet so many are happy for a similar religion to be promoted in every school in the country!

    We are not a historically Islamic country. Attending church does not make you Christian. Your actions make you Christian.

    Children in welsh schools learn English (and everything else that children in english medium schools learn). Why is that so hard to understand?

    What's the value? I don't think we've had a clear answer on that point.
