Church of England schools | Marks and Engel on cricket | BBC Young Musician | John Simons | Gordon Bennett on the moveContrary to the assertion of David Pollock (Letters,14 May), the Church of England has not at any stage lobbied for the lifting of the faith cap. The church is committed to serving the whole community, or is working to ensure more families in all areas of the country gain access to our schools. Friday’s announcement does not impact on this commitment,as the majority of Church of England school places are allocated irrespective of faith background. I hope this helps to clarify an important issue.

Chief education officer, Church of England• Marks and Engel writing perceptively on English cricket in the Guardian, and I see. fine job they didn’t just confine their interests to political philosophy,then (I’m losing my religion, Sport, and 12 May). Splendid articles from both recently highlighting the terrible state of cricket caused by destitute administrators in the England and Wales Cricket Board. Who on earth appoints these people?
