RE Curriculum

RE in Action

Our intent is to achieve high quality Religious Education for all our children. Our schools follow The Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus for RE which supports us in this aim. Teaching provides pupils with a systematic knowledge and understanding about Christianity, principal Religions, and worldviews. Our RE curriculum aims to enable pupils to become religiously and theologically literate so they can engage in life in an increasingly diverse society. It is not about telling pupils what religious views they should have but rather our intent is to support them in gaining shared human understanding, developing personal identity and searching for meaning in the context of evaluating different viewpoints.

 

As a parent or carer, you have the right to withdraw your child from RE. However, we as a school, value our RE curriculum and consider it vital that our children learn and embrace other children and families with different religions to theirs. This helps to foster and develop a culture of openness, interest, curiosity and tolerance (one of the core British values). Should you wish to discuss this further, please make an appointment with Mrs Cooper, Executive Headteacher.
