At our school, we follow the Newham Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education, ‘Exploring Beliefs, Celebrating Diversity’. Our RE curriculum encourages children to learn about and develop an understanding of different religions, beliefs and worldviews, reflecting the rich diversity of our school community and the wider world.

Through RE lessons, children have opportunities to explore religious and non-religious beliefs, traditions, stories and practices. They are encouraged to ask questions, share their own ideas, respect different perspectives and develop an appreciation of the beliefs and values of others.

RE plays an important role in children's spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, helping them to become respectful, thoughtful and understanding members of our diverse society.

Visits to Places of Worship

As part of our RE curriculum, children may have opportunities to visit different places of worship to enrich their learning and deepen their understanding of religious communities. Please note that any visits identified on our RE curriculum overview are suggested opportunities only and are not guaranteed to take place.

Right to Withdraw from RE

Parents and carers have the legal right to withdraw their child from all or part of Religious Education lessons. If you wish to exercise this right, please email the school office to make your request. We encourage parents and carers to discuss any questions or concerns with the school so that we can explain the content and aims of our RE curriculum.
