This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about the admission criteria for certain schools, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Faith schools are able to give priority to children from a particular religion, but it is up to indiviudal faith schools how to set their admission criteria, and what advice to give to parents wishing to send their child to their school. We could accept a petition calling on the Government to stop faith schools being able to give priority to children from a particular religion, if that's something you would like to happen.
