Schools play a vital role in promoting integration and promoting an understanding of different faiths and communities. We expect all schools to be inclusive and respect the protected characteristics of their pupils in line with their responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010. Schools designated with a religious character have the freedom to take faith into account when allocating places. We will continue to work closely with faith schools to promote and support integration and will set out further details in due course.
