RE Curriculum
Religion and beliefs inform our values and are reflected in what we say and how we behave.
Religious education provokes challenging questions about the ultimate meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about God, the self and the nature of reality, issues of right and wrong, and what it means to be human. It can develop pupils’ knowledge and understanding of Christianity, of other principal religions, other religious traditions and worldviews that offer answers to questions such as these.
Our curriculum for RE follows the Leicestershire Agreed syllabus and aims to ensure that all pupils:
- Learn about and from a range of faiths and world views.
- Develop an understanding of Christianity and other faiths as a contribution to their understanding of the world and their own experience within it.
- Develop children’s skills of enquiry, reasoned argument and reflection
As parents, you have a right to withdraw your child, wholly or partly, from:
- Receiving religious education (RE) given in the school in accordance with the school’s basic curriculum

This is set out in section 71(1) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998.
