Religious Education 

Curriculum Intent 

We believe that Religious Education enables students to enter into a rich discourse about the beliefs and traditions, both religious and non-religious, that have shaped Great Britain and the world. Studying a variety of religions and worldviews allows students to take their place within a diverse, multi-religious and multi-secular society.  

We encourage students to develop a positive attitude towards their learning through a curriculum which is designed to be both inspiring and challenging. We aim to prepare students to be part of a culturally diverse modern world by developing the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to handle challenging questions raised by religion and other worldviews.

Students explore and evaluate religious and non-religious beliefs and how they impact the choices made by individuals by exploring religious, spiritual and moral questions. Students will also be given the opportunity to reflect upon and articulate their personal beliefs, values and viewpoints in a respectful manner. They are encouraged to relate their learning to the wider world, in preparation for adult life and to develop critical thinking. We promote British values such as, mutual respect, tolerance, democracy, and the rule of law by fostering understanding and appreciation of diverse beliefs and cultures.
