Answer
The answer has been placed in the Assembly Library.
Religion is classified as special category data under data protection legislation and therefore requires enhanced safeguards. Due to the risk of potential identification of individuals, the information at school level has been provided using five broader categories.
Information broken down by all religious categories has been provided by the specific management/school types requested for part (iii).
