Quote:

"The Government changing the rules governing Free Schools to say that they cannot make provision for the teaching in any subject of creationism or other pseudoscience – after the BHA called for this precise change

The BHA triggering legal cases with the Government over secrecy around proposed Free Schools, and against religious schools opening by the back door
The BHA helping save the only school without a religious character in the west of the Isle of Wight from closure – which was threatened simply because the alternative choices were ‘faith’ schools"
