Our programme of Religious Education (RE) aims to ensure that by the end of Year 6, children have a secure knowledge base and understanding of a range of religions and worldviews so they are able to express ideas and insights about the nature, significance and impact of those religions and worldviews.  

As a UNICEF Rights Respecting School, we teach children that everybody has the right to their own language, culture and religion. This includes the right to hold non-religious beliefs and worldviews. We believe that our community is strongest when we all have knowledge, understanding and respect for each other’s way of life. For this reason, we positively recognise and mark celebrations and festivals from different cultures and offer visits to local places of worship to support children’s understanding of the groups that make up our rich and diverse community. 

We build positively on the wide range of beliefs and religions held within the school community, encouraging children to feel proud and secure in their own faith, and asking them to share their knowledge with their classmates to increase understanding and tolerance.  We work hard to ensure that children are confident in their own faith and recognise that learning about another religion does not mean they are being taught to believe in that religion.
