Religious Education (RE)

Religious Education

The purpose of learning Religious Education is to have a thorough understanding of Christianity and other world religions and to have an understanding of the beliefs, customs, and rituals of people living in multi-cultural Britain. Since we are a church school, children will be predominantly taught Christianity using the Bible narrative. Children will then explore how Christians make sense of the Bible and the ramifications of modern living. 

Parents have the legal right to withdraw their child from all or part of Religious Education (RE) if they wish. This right applies to all schools in England, including Church of England schools, as set out in the Education Act 1996.

History

History

We want our children to love history. We want them to have no limits to what their ambitions are and grow up wanting to be archivists, museum curators, archaeologists, or research analysts. We want them to embody our core values. The history curriculum has been carefully crafted so that our children develop their historical capital. We want our children to remember their history lessons in our school, to cherish these memories, and to embrace the historical opportunities they are presented with!
