** Your December 2020 campaign update

Hello,

This month, as the government asks whether faith schools are "good for society", we highlight the fact that two new faith schools will be forced through despite local opposition. Meanwhile, in our latest testimonial, Natassa shares her experience as a parent of a child at a Catholic school.

Our national petition against faith schools closes tomorrow (Thursday 3 December) at 17.00. If you haven't signed it yet, please take this last chance. If you have signed, then please share it on Facebook or Twitter.

We're incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported the campaign so far. We have a long way to go, but are building a movement for inclusive education with an end to divisive faith schools.

Best wishes,

Alastair Lichten
NMFS campaign coordinator
