Simple terms explainer: 

Councils must manage denominational schools. This includes appointing, without remuneration, a supervisor of religious instruction for each denominational school. The council must also provide appropriate facilities within the school for the holding of religious examinations. These duties safeguard the rights of denominational schools to deliver religious education in line with their faith traditions, while ensuring compliance with national legislation and maintaining educational standards.
