I'd love to know how they check, at the churches associated with my schools I dont recall there being any register that you had to sign...
I went to catholic schools but I dont recall them checking my church attendance. Probably quite a good job too because I didn't come from a religious family, so I'd have had a job with that at primary school
and I think the idea of a 12yr old going to church by themselves is weird so even high school woul be a bit strange too... it's so abnormal that I imagine the regulars (who are slowly becoming extinct) would actually frown upon it and accuse you of being up to no good!
I've never met anyone who didn't get into the school of their choice. I think people who have gone to a religious primary school have it easier because when you leave there the nearest religious high school EXPECTS you to go there.
St Christophers aren't being overwhelmed with christians, they're being overwhelmed with the best pupils because it's the best high school around and gets the best results. I hate to be a bit shallow but it also has quite a nice uniform and I bet some people pick it for those reasons too.
Out of interest do these problems occur the same with primary schools? Because obviously they can take even less students on per year...
