Welcome to our Religious Education page. Here you can find lots of information about Religious Education across our school.
Statement of Intent
Religious education promotes pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. It promotes respect towards others with different beliefs and faiths and encourages pupils to develop a sense of identity and belonging. Pupils learn through an enquiry based approach where they can develop an understanding and appreciation of beliefs and cultural practices in both the local and wider community. The key aims for religious education are to learn about religion and belief and to learn from religion and belief.
Our Religious Education Lead is Mrs Lisle.
