Meanwhile the big news stories in education for England so far are clearly being decided not by the Secretary of State Justine Greening but by the new Prime Minister Theresa May who wants to change the rules on grammar schools and faith schools, so that both can expand. Although most of the attention is on grammar schools, I think that changes to faith schools admissions could have a knock-on effect for home education as people with very strong opinions about children mixing with those of other faiths and cultures will be putting forward their views.
