Religious Education (RE)
In preparing our children for the wider world, the teaching of Religious Education seeks to establish and develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of Christian beliefs and traditions and also introduce them to the teachings and practices of other major world religions represented in Great Britain. The children will be encouraged to develop respect both for their own beliefs and values and for the diversity in religious belief and practice in the wider community.
RE is taught using Understanding Christianity as part of the Kent Agreed Syllabus. From the time of the 1944 Education Act, parents have had the right to withdraw their children from Religious Education. Our school must comply with any request from a parent to withdraw their child and parents are not required to give their reasons for wanting to do so. However we would always offer parents considering withdrawing their child(ren) the opportunity to discuss the teaching of religious education.
