RE

As a school we adopt the RBG scheme of work, established by the SACRE. Understanding religion is essential in supporting our pupils in being next stage ready and understanding the society that we live in.

We aim to foster a knowledge and understanding of the diverse religions which make up our worldwide community and also to understand and respect the position of people who do not hold religious beliefs.

Religious Education is taught through a variety of approaches such as topics, themes, assemblies, stories, visiting places of worship and visits from members of different religious communities. We believe that one of the best ways to learn about people is to share our thoughts and ideas. We hope to encourage children to develop open minds with a caring and tolerant view of the beliefs of others.

Children are given time to reflect during assemblies, discussions and considerations of our shared whole school values as well as multi-faith celebrations, such as Christmas services at our local church and our school community iftar during Ramadan.

If parents and carers wish to withdraw their children from R.E, they should discuss this with the Headteacher and put their request in writing. Should parents and carers wish to withdraw their children from school to celebrate religious festivals, they should inform the Headteacher in writing.
