I think that would depend on whether it was a privately funded or state funded school. If it is privately funded, then fine, if its a state school then they shouldn't as they could be taking children from various backgrounds, even if the predominate faith of the school is Christian, Muslim etc

That's a good point, so surely then its discrimination just as it was for schools to make girls wear skirts and boys trousers a few years ago
