Secular assemblies agreed

Burford Primary School, an academy with the Oxford Diocesan Schools’ Trust (ODST)

A couple who threatened to take a school to the High Court over its religious assemblies won their fight for alternative provision for their children, it was reported in November.

The couple, Lee and Lizianne Harris withdrew their two children from assemblies at Burford Primary School in Oxfordshire over fears they were being ‘indoctrinated’.

The case is an unusual one, as the school had formally been a non-religious state school when they had enrolled their children, but it was then taken into the Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust.
