Why do we learn Religious Education?
The study of RE intends to broaden students' knowledge of different cultures and belief systems, allowing them to acquire knowledge and understanding of the beliefs and practices of the religions and worldviews which not only shape their history and culture, but which guide their own development.
Our approach
The purpose of our Key Stage 3 curriculum is to ensure students have a broad understanding of the world’s main religions and beliefs, as well as helping our students to become well-rounded, respectful students.
Students will learn about the six major world religions and world views, as well as exploring deep philosophical and ethical questions. Students will have opportunity to share their own beliefs and values, to respectfully debate controversial and religious issues and to learn from their peers about different beliefs and practices in their local, national and global community.
