| Comment | I have quite recently left school in Glasgow. I went to a non religious school, there was a good, pretty equal mix of protestant and catholic backgrounds as well as many children from religious and ethnic minorities. If you wish to raise your child a bit religious/with some teachings, there was lots of lessons on multiple religions and clubs at school for bible study.
I know someone who went to catholic school (He is 18 now). His school had a pro-life club, they would need to pray throughout the day every day and attend masses. He didn't learn basic sex ed in school (how to use protection/how periods actually worked etc.) Quite recently I had to explain what an ovary was lol. To me the funniest part is that he still didn't understand that he went to a catholic school and not 'just Christian' until about he graduated high school. He doesn't understand the difference still.
As such, I think a non religious school gives a reliably better rounded world view and useful lessons. However for graded education (like when it comes to sitting highers) I would look specifically for your council the best school, there is plenty information online about grade attainment which may indicate a better formal education. |
