Probably yeah, but that doesn't mean you can't make a fresh breast of it! Make sure you get a new hat though.

it’s fine as long as you are not socially influenced or religiously pressured by the amount of one sided diversity.

i know some Muslims who go to a catholic school. the percentage was high though and depending how strong iman you have, it can change your behaviour towards your own religion.

Make sure you buy yourself a branded bucket hat before you go.

The biggest issue is I can see is that if your Imaan is weak then I do not advise going to a religious school other than an Islamic school.
Also, it would not be permissible to take part in any religious festivals/activities outside of Islam.

However, if your imaan is strong and you are not pressured to take part in Catholic festivals/ prayers and such then why not?

Ofc I won’t take part in their prayers wtf?
I’m a Muslim and I’ll stick to being a Muslim
So while they do their prayers what should Muslims do? Just sit there? Maybe we’ll be taken somewhere else...

Oh no not intending any insult... I work with so many different people that we mock, chastise, ridicule religion. NHS - my colleagues are from all walks off life and we learn from each other - makes us more tolerant

I go to a Church of England school and I usually just sit there. I guess you can ask to be taken somewhere else.

You will pretty much just sit there (its boring as hell). Everyone will be required to partake in all activities, but they will definitely not force you to pray or anything, most catholic school are quite respectful of it and will just require you to also be respectful during those activities.
