WHAT DOES FAITH SCHOOL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Faith school

A faith school is a school in the United Kingdom that teaches a general curriculum but which has a particular religious character or formal links with a religious organisation. The term is most commonly applied to State-funded faith schools, although many independent schools also have religious characteristics. There are various types of State-funded faith school, including Voluntary Aided schools, Voluntary Controlled schools, and Faith Academies. Faith schools may give priority to applicants who are of the faith of the school, and specific exemptions from Section 85 of the Equality Act 2010 enable them to do that. However, State-funded faith schools must admit other applicants if they cannot fill all of their places and must ensure that their admission arrangements comply with the School Admissions Code. The term "faith school" was introduced in Britain in 1990 following calls from Muslims for institutions comparable to the existing Christian church schools. It is distinct from an institution mainly or wholly teaching religion and related subjects. Note that legislation varies between the countries of the United Kingdom since education is a devolved matter.
