Religious Education Curriculum Intent:

Nurture: We believe that to be able to embrace the challenges of creating a happy and successful adult life, pupils need knowledge that will enable them to make informed decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships and to build their self-efficacy.

Curiosity: Encouraging pupils to try new activities and show confidence, independence and resilience in the face of challenge.  Exploring a range of different ways to support themselves and others and make informed decisions about their wellbeing.

Diversity: To help children know the importance of respecting the differences of others, either in school or the wider world. Children should be able to identify and modify their own feelings socially and emotionally and know the importance of self-respect and how this links to their own happiness.

Ambition: To help prepare pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life to ensure our pupils become successful adults who make a positive contribution to society.

                              

 

 

 

 

Parental Right to Withdraw from Religious Education (RE)

We respect the rights of parents and carers regarding their child’s education. Under current legislation, parents and carers have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of Religious Education (RE) lessons. This includes activities related to Religious Education that do not form part of the statutory National Curriculum.

If you wish to exercise this right, we ask that you inform the school in writing, detailing whether you are withdrawing your child from all or specific parts of the RE curriculum. We are happy to discuss any concerns you may have and provide further information to help you make an informed decision.
