Intent

We want all our children to develop awareness and appreciation of religious and non-religious worldviews. We want our children to hold balanced and well-informed conversations about worldviews. We want our children to question and formulate ideas through their discussions.

Withdrawing your child from part or all of religious education lessons 

Parents and carers have the right to withdraw their child from part or all of religious education lessons. If you do not want your child to participate in RE lessons, please speak to your child's class teacher or contact the school office.
