Abstract
The Christian Schools Campaign was an educational pressure group which sought to obtain state funding for faith‐based schools. It successfully influenced both the 1992 Education (Schools) Act on inspection criteria and the 1993 Education Act. The latter now gives the possibility of faith‐based grant‐maintained schools, where existing faith‐based private schools may apply to be re‐established as grant‐maintained. This article charts the nature and activities of the Christian Schools Campaign, and begins to assess its effectiveness.Keywords
