Religious Education

RE

We follow the Merton Agreed Syllabus for Religious education, which allows pupils to develop their knowledge and understanding of the principal religions represented in the United Kingdom.

Through discussion-based lessons, educational visits and links with our local community, we aim to enable all children to:

  • Understand, accept, respect and celebrate the diversity of religion
  • Exercise their own freedom of thought and express their individual views in a safe place at school
  • Demonstrate sensitivity to the faith and cultural background of children in their class
  • Develop an understanding of the influence of beliefs, values and traditions on the way people live
  • Reflect on their own beliefs, values and experiences
