IT is true that by and large, the faith based schools offer a better standard, or at least that has been my experience when I worked in education. You then get a great many people willing to do just about anything to get their kids into one, including moving or having them baptised. Interestingly though, since this is cited as one of the contributory factors to the polarisation of british society, I saw a lot more racial tension and bigotry between asian and west african/carribean children in London where I worked,than between the white and black kids, none of whom attended faith based schools.
