School under investigation for 'actively promoting evangelical Christianity'

A school is under investigation after staff have been reportedly actively promoting evangelical Christianity to pupils.

The section for advice on abuse points pupils towards two verses. One says: “If anyone causes one of these little ones — those who believe in me — to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea”. Another display depicting a map of the world says: “From one man God made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole Earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands”.

In addition to the wall displays, Mr Owen is also alleged to have told teachers to show a video advertising the ‘Alpha’ course to their tutor groups. Alpha is an evangelistic course which aims to convert students to Christianity. “Significant school time and resources have been expended on efforts to inculcate the religious ideology of the headteacher.
