Has to be said a significant number want mon domination schools too. Noting that woth emergration etc this could both change and stay the same
Example rise in numbers of Muslim schools for example. Not sure how this went in the UK but we are following their lead here in regard to schools

I’m surprised – the percentage seems quite low

60-70% want to keep the ethos of the denominational school. I thought that was interesting. People do need more choices for sure but also consider that in other countries people pay top dollar to have their children educated in a denominational school and Catholic schools have a very good educational record worldwide. Definitely there needs to be more choices though.

Maybe just leave religion out of schools and let people sort their own personal religious teachings through their respective churches 🤷.

I guarantee that “on-the-ground” if you tried to implement these changes, the majority of parents in the majority of schools would object to changing the ethos or nature of the school.
The whole reason divestment didn’t work was that parents, generally speaking, resisted ethos change when it was an option. There was even one instance where a Labour councillor was representing local parents who were objecting to ethos change in their school. This was at a time when Labour was in government and leading a push to change ethos. Maybe the field has changed in 15 years but it invariably seems to be the case that surveys show a desire for change but when it comes to implementation, it falls apart.

They want their little shits to dress up and have a party for their first Communion. That’s it.
