The aims of the Religious and Moral Education in our school are as follows:
- To introduce the children to the life of Jesus Christ and to those who have responded to his life and teaching.
- To provide the children with a faith by which to live.
- To develop and enable the children to express their own beliefs and values.
- In addition to a strong focus on Christianity, our RE curriculum places a significant emphasis on helping pupils learn about and respect other major world religions.
- With other areas of the curriculum, to contribute towards the children’s spiritual, moral, cultural and social development
- Along with our school's Christian ethos and values we aim to equip our pupils with the knowledge, understanding and character traits they need to thrive, both within and beyond the classroom.
We believe that religious education is not simply a standalone subject, but a fundamental aspect of our holistic approach to education. We work closely with the Southwark Diocesan Board of Education who provide support and an advisory service to the Senior Leadership Team and staff.
Our vicar regularly visits the school to lead collective worship and the children visit the church once or twice each term. Click here to find out more about our Church.
All staff encourage and welcome the involvement of parents in the Religious Education of their children and the prayer life of the school.
Parents are kept informed of events in our newsletters and are always invited to join us for our celebrations in church.
