Specific exemptions from Section 85 of the Equality Act enables VA faith schools to use faith criteria in prioritising pupils for admission to the schools.

History Prior to the 19th century, there were a variety of schools in England and Wales, from charity schools providing basic education for the poor to endowed schools often grammar schools providing secondary or all-age education. Early in that century, the British and Foreign School Society and the National Society for Promoting Religious Education sought to provide elementary schooling for poor children, setting up non-denominational British Schools and Church of England National schools respectively.
From , the State began to provide grants to support these elementary schools and the less wealthy endowed schools.
They were joined by the Catholic Poor School Committee, which established Roman Catholic elementary schools and received its first state grant in Secondary education also expanded at the same time, including a series of Roman Catholic secondary schools established by religious orders.
The State began to provide elementary education in and secondary education in , but also continued to increase funding to the schools run by private organisations, now known as voluntary schools. The land and buildings belong to a charity, but the governing body runs the school, employs the staff and controls admissions.
Funding comes partly from the LA and partly from the charity. Foundation schools are run by the governing body, which also owns the land and buildings, employs the staff, controls admissions and sources and buys in support services.
The funding comes from the LA. What is the difference between voluntary controlled VC schools and voluntary aided VA schools? What do maintained schools do? There are key differences between maintained schools and free schools and academies. One of these concerns the teaching.
Maintained schools have to follow the National Curriculum , although they can focus on specific subjects such as RE in a church school as long as they meet the curriculum requirements across the board.

A form of lawful punishment a school can give to a child. Students can be excluded from school on either a fixed-term or permanent basis. A fixed-term exclusion is for a specific, limited period of time. A pupil can be excluded on a fixed-term basis for a maximum of 45 days in any school year.
Lunch time exclusions count for a half day in England. A fixed-term exclusion should be for the shortest possible time, and children should not be excluded for an unspecified period of time. A permanent exclusion involves the child being removed from the school roll but this should only happen once there has been an unsuccessful appeal against the exclusion or once the time period in which an appeal must be lodged has passed.
