Kayal - fair do's mate can't argue with your own personal experience.
I do think non denominational primary schools are changing now though with the greater mix of children now attending them.
The concert this Christmas was how other children in different parts of the world celebrate Christmas regardless of their faith.
I do agree with Junglebhoy. Separate schools don't help but it is the parents who should lead by example.

I agree Zico all I'm saying is that "non denominational" schools involve just as much religious segregation. So, for them to be touted as the way it should be is also wrong.

I just don't think school should push or celebrate ANY religion. Have RE classes so they can understand it in the outside world and let them do what they want in their own time.

They discriminate just as much as any faith school, just in different ways.
