"Has strengths and weaknesses"

Hi everyone, we have been allocated a C of E primary that seems very focused on religion and on bringing it into every subject. I didn’t really realise until now how religious it was, or I might have appealed.

"My 4 year old is entirely brainwashed from three terms in reception"

My 4 year old is entirely brainwashed from three terms in reception... insisting on grace before meals, thinking that “asking god” is the right way to get anything... The school had an “Ethos day” which turned out to be an ENTIRE day learning about different ways to pray

"Define extremely Christian, my kid is in his last year at a C of E school"

Define extremely Christian, my kid is in his last year at a C of E school... it is threaded through everything, but no one's sitting through the passion of the Christ as the fuck it, let's watch a video lesson.
