No. Parental religious beliefs can of course inform their thinking in requesting a placement under CFA2014 s38, but that does not in itself give them any greater importance than other factors informing the parental request.
However, the impact of religion can be relevant to the delivery of provision, for example how a CYP can access provision at a non-religious school where they have previously attended a religious school: A v SENDIST & LB Barnet [2003] EWHC 3368#22.
