Religious Education
Pupils receive Religoius Education throughout the school. As a compulsory part of the National Curriculum for all pupils this subject
is a valuable component of the academic life of the school.
The aim of the department is to promote the spiritual and moral developement of our pupils in the light of world
religions, with particular emphasis on Christianity. We want our pupils to know and understand the beliefs and practices of Christianity as well as two
other religions and to develop informed opinions of their value to themselves and to others.
At Key Stage 2 and 3 (Years 4-8) pupils receive two periods of Religious Education per week. The themes explored include
beliefs, celebration, origins and founders, sacred texts, worship and ethics. Key Stage 4 is the responsibility of our pupils'
secondary schools.
