Repeal requirement for collective worship in schools

Additional Information

Currently the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 requires:
"each pupil in attendance at a community, foundation or voluntary school shall on each school day take part in an act of collective worship."


We believe that this is out of place in a modern society and would like the government to amend the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 to no longer require this.
