Admission to Church of England Schools
Members of Affinity Partner churches are sometimes discriminated against when seeking a place for their child in a church school, on the grounds that their congregation does not belong to a recognised denomination or ecumenical body. At one time there was an agreement with the Church of England Board of Education, but this is now under review.
More details will be published through the Affinity website following this review, expected to take place in November.

What is the agreement you have with the CofE, and where can I get a copy to give to our local CofE school who know nothing of Affinity (or BEC).
We successfully got our 2nd child into the school, after being downgraded to category 4 - Other World Faiths… lower than non-practicing christians! This was after being told by the admissions Vicar that we could be a cult!
