Good grief. My partner is half Jewish and Im an aetheist .Good job we weren't offered FC then for our kids then- they wouldn't have put up with us for long and we'd have wanted exclusions from all religious ceremonies etc. However how is a Catholic school expected to manage non catholic families/children who dont really want to be there and dont have a clue potentially about catholic traditions and rituals. It must make for an odd balance?

Unfortunately I think this is a good indicator of why all state subsidised schools should be secular in order to benefit the masses not small groups who can come from almost anywhere, and my understanding of FC is that their catchment area in practice is very wide hence the constant rows about the bad parking of the parents.
