I agree with you on that point, I'm a Governor of a non aided High School and it's a good guide.
The point I was makig in my original post was that some aided schools percieve that they give a better all rounded caring education than non church schools however there are community schools that offer excellent education and are no less caring with their pupils.
We chose to send our daughters to the local CE primary school that was partially to do with its smaller size than other local schools but we also felt the Christian ethos of the school was in accordance with our views at that time. We had no regrets about our decision and similarly no regrets about our choice of High School
