In answer to the thread header question - yes.

My son is in year 13 of High School, and amongst the members of his year are Christians, Sikhs, Jews, Hindus, Muslims, et al - throughout his stay at his high school, as part of Religious Education, there have been visits to RC, CofE, and Methodist churches (compare and contrast), Sikh and Hindu temples, Jewish Synagogues, Islamic Mosques, and even one to a humanist ceremony (baby naming).

However, the visits are not compulsory - parents can opt-out their children if they so wish (but not from the classes).
