Religious Education
Religious education is part of our
curriculum, being mainly Christian in
approach. The other five major religions are
also discussed through topic work and
assemblies, which supports the children’s
understanding of the world around them.
Through classroom teaching and school
assemblies, pupils are encouraged to
reflect upon aspects of human life and the
natural world which raise questions of
ultimate meaning and purpose. Central
elements of the Christian and other major
faiths are introduced to our pupils through
stories, ceremonies, festivals and moral
codes.
There is an emphasis on stories of people
past and present whose lives have set good
examples, and stories which communicate
religious ideas about the origin and
purpose of the world.
During some part of each day there is a
corporate act of worship.
If you feel unable to allow your child to take
part in RE lessons or assemblies then you
have the right of withdrawal. Please contact
the Headteacher if this is the case.
