There are no Government proposals to change the constitutional role of the church, nor the ability of churches or other Christian communities to sponsor schools. Freedom of religious belief is protected by the Human Rights Act and the Equalities Act. You could start a new petition setting out what specific action or change in the law you would like the Government to take or make.

Background
Christianity has long shaped the UK’s laws, liberties and moral framework, yet its place in public life is increasingly marginalised. This risks weakening the nation’s constitutional and cultural foundations. We believe the Government has a duty to act now to uphold, protect and preserve this inheritance for future generations.
