A Serious Threat to Catholic Education

24/11/2017

 
Do you support Catholic schools, and the right of Catholics to send their children to those schools?

Archbishop Peter Smith writes​:
 
“We need you to make your voice heard. The government is making a critical decision on whether to overturn the admissions cap which prevents Catholic schools from allowing all Catholic pupils to attend. This cap was introduced by the Coalition Government in 2010. The present Government have acknowledged that this policy discriminates against Catholics and indeed they promised to abandon it. Now we most urgently need you to tell them that they must not perform a U-turn on that public promise they made to Catholics. Please visit Catholic Education. There you will be able to write to the Government and urge them to drop their policy which bans new Catholic Schools.

If you do not have access to a computer, please write to:

The Secretary of State for Education
The Right Hon. Justine Greening MP
Sanctuary Buildings
20 Great Smith Street
Westminster, London SW1P 3BT
 
Thankyou.”

Please do not renege on your promise to preserve the right of Catholics to opt for Catholic schools. These schools seem to produce good Ofsted results which is why they are so popular. We need well disciplined , tolerant and widely educated pupils to become citizens with high principles and world vision in our rootless society.
