Sherrard you could be right, my daughter went to C of E school, mainly because it was a new school in our cachement area, not churchy at all, she did ok there. I can only recall the Catholic School in the area where I lived, it was run by nuns who were very strict, although my g/f at the time wasn't particularly brainy, and her brother became a priest.....

I did a teaching practice in a catholic school - there weren't any nuns but the staff were really strict and it was known that misbehaving in any way would not be tolerated, strictest school I have ever been in (and a bit scary).
