BHA: Barking & Dagenham Council reverses unlawful decision to create faith school

The Cabinet of Barking and Dagenham Council voted yesterday to rescind their recent decision to incorporate a community school into a Voluntary Aided Church of England school against the wishes of both schools, a decision that the British Humanist Association (BHA) and others had claimed was unlawful. The BHA has welcomed the decision, having been in the early stages of working with local residents to take legal action against the merger.
