It was yet another good news for the Hindu and Sikh faith community. Leicester first state funded Sikh schools follows on the back hindu ethos school set up Avanti Trust last year, but let's also be clear it is the Conservative Party policy that has offering faith communities with the of local community set up faith ethos schools. We now have 7 Sikh and 5 Hindu ethos faith schools.
It is therefore a great shame that the Labour Party has now made it clear that it does not support state funded so it is rather odd that Labour MP's and Councillors turn up at these faith schools openings when Labour leadership and party's official policy is aganist state funded faith schools.
Labour Party under Ed Miliband gone back to its left wing secular roots werein the "state" know best mindset and there is no place for our voluntary or faith sectors.
