Role of religion in schools

Role of religion in schools

Almost 40 leading academics, peers and clerics are backing calls for a sweeping inquiry into the role of religion in British schools in the wake of the Trojan Horse scandal.

...

Nick Spencer, research director at the religious think-tank Theos, said: “The idea of formally reviewing how schools engage with religious and non-religious belief systems is a good one. Much has changed in 20 years and we need to recognise that

“However, when many of the signatories calling for one are well known for their hostility to religious faith, we should be cautious.

“We wouldn’t want the Trojan Horse to become a stalking horse for the anti-faith schools brigade.”
