End religious observance in non-denominational schools
Non-denominational schools should be a place of secular education where religion can be learned about but not practiced. How can we teach our children about evolution and the big bang and then go on to praise a supernatural being? Parents are free to take their children to places of worship out with school hours so there is no need for it in a place of education.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Every maintained school, by law, must provide Religious Education (RE)however every parent has the right to withdraw their child from all or any part of religious education and collective worship.
