Well I think part of the question is if we are a secular state should we have faith based schools at all? AFAIK there have always been faith schools. Look at the number of grammar schools that were affiliated with catholicism etc. I know of one good private school that is a Quaker school, yet many if not most of the pupils were not Quaker.

I think the other question is if these should be funded out of the public purse. I argue that it should not be? State education should be secular full stop.
