Our teaching of Religious Education (RE) follows the guidance given in the latest agreed syllabus for Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire: Religious Education for All 2021-2026

We aim to include members of the school community linked to the faiths that we will explore. Having a focus on the religions represented in the community that we serve, highlights the importance of community cohesion and celebrates diversity in all of its forms.

At this school, RE is a valued and integral part of the curriculum. We teach RE in order to:

• Develop children’s knowledge, understanding and awareness of the main world religions, their beliefs and practices.
• Encourage children to appreciate and celebrate diversity Instil in children a sense of respect and sensitivity towards people with different faiths, as befits a school with a wide diversity of culture Provide opportunities for children to explore and experience their own spirituality.
• Enable children to begin to develop their own set of values through curiosity and awareness of the world.

Our school is committed to providing Religious Education (RE) and Collective Worship that respects the diverse religious and philosophical convictions of all families. Details of our Collective Worship curriculum can be found in the Collective Worship section on our website.

Parents have the legal right to withdraw their child from all, or part, of RE and/or Collective Worship if they feel it conflicts with their own beliefs. If you wish to exercise this right, please inform the school.
