Religious Studies

Our vision:


Our world view shapes the way we experience life and interact and relate to others.
Consequently, Religious Education is important to working and living in a multi-faith and multicultural
world, but it is also a vital way to understand ourselves. By experiencing Religious
Education, your child will enter into a rich discourse about the religious and non-religious
traditions that have shaped Great Britain and the world.


By focusing on world views – both secular and religious – and by recognizing that even within a
religions such as Christianity there are differences between individuals who describe themselves
as Christian, we hope to show children the complexity and variety of world views and how they
relate to each other. 

 

Everything you do in Religious Studies should be of great merit, character and value.

Of great merit: PHILOSOPHICAL

Of great character: WISE

Of great value: TOLERANT

 

 

Religous studies Overview

 

 

How families can support:


Encouraging pupils to be positive about their leaning and lessons and discussing the issues and
topics covered in class will be useful. It is also helpful to be aware of key events and issues in the
world. Watching documentaries, the news and also reading a newspaper will make pupils
understand of what is happening in society. Supporting pupils with homework tasks and looking
through their exercise book work will also support and guide pupils.
