Religious Education

Religious Education Curriculum Intent

We strive to provide life transforming learning in Religious Education by providing students with opportunities to consider challenging questions about the world around them: the purpose of life; right and wrong; and, what it means to be human. They will learn and evaluate the value of wisdom from different sources, to develop and express their developing insights in a respectful and appropriate manner. We enable students to gain knowledge, understanding and skills needed to make sense of a range of religious and non-religious beliefs, their impact on the world, and enable them to reflect on their own ideas, opinions and ways of living. Finally, they will develop the skill required to discern connecting concepts and pieces of knowledge, evaluate them and critically respond to them. By so doing, they will gain an appreciation of the varied cultures and beliefs of the people around them, helping to create bright futures for all.
