Church and faith schools play an important role in promoting integration and an understanding of different faiths and communities. We will continue to work closely with Church and faith schools to promote and support integration and will set out further details in due course. The Department will provide further information on the Schools that work for everyone consultation, including in relation to the 50% cap on faith-based admissions, in due course.
