Oh dear,

I did not expect Brian's reply! I was not asking for a debate on Catholicism or the existence of faith schools. I was very disappointed by the tenor of his post.

However, the situation is that my girls are at catholic primary schools. Prendergast is a very good school and I would be perfectly happy for my eldest to go there BUT we are not in the catchment area and have been told that we have little or no chance of getting in ( I understand that only one child from my daughter's primary school was allocated a place there in the last academic year & she has special needs so was a priority)

All I was really looking for was comments on the catholic secondary schools children in this area attend from someone who has or knows of a child at any particular one of these schools.
