RE is about helping children to understand how people with different beliefs make sense of life, and to have confidence to think through big questions for themselves.

We find out what people do in different religions. We learn through shared stories, drama, creativity, study of artefacts, visits and visitors or `virtual’ experiences through ICT.

We need to know how we fit into the world around us, what is important to us and how what we do will make a difference to other people – and to ourselves!

Whilst we believe that the teaching and learning of RE is an important part of our curriculum, parents do have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of RE. Before this happens a discussion must take place with the Headteacher and the RE lead.
