This is the game where lots of children line up in two lines, then a child from one team runs at the other line with an aim to breaking it. If you break through the line, then you rejoin your team, and your team gets another go. If the line holds firm, you join the other team, and it's their go. Many schools have banned this, and had when we were at school, but I think from anecdotal evidence that it was mainly C of E/other protestant schools that did this, whereas RC schools still allow the game. So, a test:[Poll #271314]

There are state primaries that are Roman Catholic. My state primary was not-just-nominally CofE. Some are now 'multifaith' in that they allow the religious content to be of any (mainstream) type.

(I worked for the local Education Department for a couple of years administering said schools. Trust me.)

Well, yes. However, a specifically RC school still has to be 10% funded by the diocese, no? I figured it was worth m,entiong 'standard' state schools, and that they probably fitted in with more definitely protestant schools, and if anyone disagreed, well, that's what 'other' is for.
