Introduction
The education system in the UK has a long established, but rapidly changing, presence of faith communities in schools, manifested in multi-faith classrooms as well as publicly funded schools with a faith foundation. This chapter enables readers to pose and explore questions about that presence and how it impacts on pupils, teachers and other educational professionals. The chapter explores: the role of Religious Education (RE) in the curriculum, the growth of faith schools and the implications of their aims and the legal requirement to promote children's spiritual development across the curriculum.
