Curriculum Intent for RE

We follow the Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education (SACRE) produced by The Educational Framework for Religious Education in Lincolnshire.

Religious Education (RE) is taught to all children unless their parents choose for them to be excluded. Our teaching encompasses several religions and worldviews and the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of our pupils.  

Our teaching enables pupils to acquire knowledge and understanding of religious beliefs, attitudes, practices and rituals of a variety of faiths while developing their own beliefs and values. 

Children are also taught that some people have no attachment to religious beliefs and follow secular philosophies. 

We follow the  Religious Education DfE Guidance and the Lincolnshire Locally Agreed Syllabus. 

Parental Right to Withdraw from Religious Education (RE)

We respect the rights of parents and carers regarding their child’s education. Under current legislation, parents and carers have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of Religious Education (RE) lessons. This includes activities related to Religious Education that do not form part of the statutory National Curriculum.

If you wish to exercise this right, we ask that you inform the school in writing, detailing whether you are withdrawing your child from all or specific parts of the RE curriculum. We are happy to discuss any concerns you may have and provide further information to help you make an informed decision.
