Religious Education

The RE Department aims to deliver an ambitious, knowledge rich curriculum so that, regardless of their starting points, all students gain a solid foundation and strong understanding of the Catholic faith. Our curriculum continually develops skills, such as biblical literacy, to enable our students to engage fully with the teachings and example of Jesus, as well as gospel values. The experiences our curriculum provides enables students to grow and mature in response to questions of morality and spirituality. Their deep understanding of the social and moral teachings of the Church enables them to recognise and action how they can make a positive contribution to society and the lives of others. Through their study of RE, students will have plentiful opportunities to discern their role in the world and their relationship to others as unique individuals created by a loving God. Inspired by this knowledge, they will therefore have ‘life, and have it to the full.’
