Religious Education

We aim to Promote a learning community based on the Gospel values of Love, trust and respect. Where the achievements of everyone are recognised and celebrated. Living, Learning and Loving together with Christ. 

Religious Education is central to the educative mission of the Church. ‘At the heart of Catholic education lies the Christian vision of the human person. This vision is expressed and explored in RE.

Religious Education is ‘the core of the core curriculum.’ ‘Therefore Religious Education is never simply one subject among many, but the foundation of the entire educational process. The beliefs and values studied in Catholic religious education inspire and draw together every aspect of the life of a Catholic school….. All pupils have the right to receive an overall education which will enable them, in the light of the faith of the Church, to engage with the deepest questions of life and find reasons for the hope which is within them.

Religious Education is, then, the core subject in a Catholic school. Religious Education is the systematic study of the teaching of the Church and the mystery of Christ and is a rigorous academic subject in its own right. Religious Education is regarded as an academic discipline with the same systematic demands and the same rigour as other disciplines. As such it is to be taught, developed and resourced with the same commitment as any other subject.
