R.E.

We follow the revised Birmingham Agreed Syllabus. The school conforms to the 1988 Education Reform Act, which states that the National Curriculum is to ‘promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society.’

Religious Education is embodied in these principles:

a)    an awareness of what life looks like from religious points of view

b)    knowledge and understanding of the central determining features of the major religions

c)    an appreciation of how religion affects values and attitudes in individuals and communities

d)    the development of his/her own religious insight

Our teaching of R.E. complies with both local and national curriculum requirements.  There is a daily act of Collective Worship, which is of a broadly Christian nature.

We feel it is important to address the values and beliefs of other faiths as our children live in a multi-cultural society and need to be culturally aware.  Parents have the right to withdraw their children from Religious Education and Acts of Worship if contrary to their own beliefs. If this is the case, please contact the Headteacher.  Provision will be made for your child during assembly times.
