A potentially landmark high court case begins today, which could halt what campaigners call the “back-door” spread of new state religious schoolsthrough England, approved by councils without residents being given a choice of alternative.
The British Humanist Association (BHA), which has launched the action with a local campaign group, is applying for judicial review of the decision by a London council, Richmond, to hand £10m of land and assets to the Catholic church to set up two new voluntary-aided religious schools, one primary and one secondary.
