You've missed the point entirely. Of course you can have a school symbol without its chosen faith being represented on it. What I'm trying to say is whatever logo the school chooses is something I believe all pupils should wear, whether religious symbol attached or not. It identifies which school the pupil comes from.
I don't see why a school should make a pupil wear an extra item of uniform in order for them to comply with its faith - and that would be my position had it been a Christian, Muslim, Catholic or Sikh school.
