Abstract
The article offers a case study of the ways in which a Catholic primary school located in the centre of a large South-Asian community in Leicester, UK, responded to the religious and ethnic diversity of its surroundings. The school, Our Saviour's, engaged in shared activities with a neighbouring school which had a majority intake of Hindu, Muslim and Sikh children. Approaches to religious education at Our Saviour's combined with weekly shared activities with the neighbouring school resulted in improved inter-ethnic relations in the Surrounding community, as children from both schools began socialising after school hours. This article draws on ethnographic research to give a case study of the ways in which Our Saviour's employed a responsive approach to single faith schooling by engaging with religious and ethnic diversity as a means of promoting dialogue.
