Faith schools educate around a quarter of our children, yet we hear little about their social effects. I attended Church of England schools as a child, and why they were undoubtedly good schools, with hindsight I can see that religious content was forced down our throats on a daily basis from the age of four. Aside from classes in religious education, we sang hymns in assemblies, essentially forced to praise God on a daily basis as the more committed teachers picked out and reprimanded any child not singing loudly enough.

place in the world."
