what religon usually wears the roseary beads with the cross on it? is it the roman catholic only or do church of england people wear them as well?

It's definitely okay for a non-Catholic to wear a rosary, as long as it's worn respectfully and you act appropriately while wearing it. In his book, "The Secret of the Rosary," St. Louis de Montfort explains how wearing the rosary as a necklace or on one's belt is a way of honoring the mother of God:

Our Lady blesses not only those who preach her Rosary, but she highly rewards all those who get others to say it by their example.

Alphonsus, King of Leon and Galicia, very much wanted all his servants to honor the Blessed Virgin by saying the Rosary. So he used to hang a large rosary on his belt and always wore it, but unfortunately never said it himself. Nevertheless his wearing it encouraged his courtiers to say the Rosary very devoutly.

One day the King fell seriously ill and when he was given up for dead he found himself, in a vision, before the judgement seat of Our Lord. Many devils were there accusing him of all the sins he had committed and Our Lord as Sovereign Judge was just about to condemn him to hell when Our Lady appeared to intercede for him. She called for a pair of scales and had his sins placed in one of the balances whereas she put the rosary that he had always worn on the other scale, together with all the Rosaries that had been said because of his example. It was found that the Rosaries weighed more than his sins.

Looking at him with great kindness Our Lady said: "As a reward for this little honor that you paid me in wearing my Rosary, I have obtained a great grace for you from my Son. Your life will be spared for a few more years. See that you spend these years wisely, and do penance."

When the King regained consciousness he cried out: "Blessed be the Rosary of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, by which I have been delivered from eternal damnation!"

After he had recovered his health he spent the rest of his life in spreading devotion to the Holy Rosary and said it faithfully every day.

People who love the Blessed Virgin out to follow the example of King Alphonsus and that of the saints whom I have mentioned so that they too may win other souls for the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary. They will then receive great graces on earth and eternal life later on.

I have been asked by a friend to make her a rosary necklace. I am not familiar with rosaries but am trying to learn. I know there are 10 beads and then a 'father' bead that is supposed to be larger, but do the ten beads have to all be the same? Or do they just all need to be smaller than the father beads?

the ten beads do need to be a marked size different from the larger bead.
OR
at least create some sort of more pronounced space between the ten small and the larger bead.

The reason for this is not religious in nature,
but
for assistance in the meditating.
As the Rosary is recited the feel of the beads is very very important.
The person praying is often lost deep in thought and contemplation and needs the feel of the bead's change in size to distinguish the end of a decade and the start of the next mystery(Our Father bead).

Peace
btw

if we did that in religion class... would it be good for them? or is it degrading to the children? or a sign of pity? or if we made the rosary beads for the children would it be good?

maybe you need to ask the father at the church? You could make them for the church and let them give them away, but that does not help the Quakers, Baptist, or others. Maybe doing a story time with fresh veggies would be more helpful. Or redo used toys for birthdays and next holidays!
