RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
As ours is a Catholic Primary, Religious Education is considered a core subject and its influence permeates the whole curriculum and life in the school. The Arch-diocesan syllabus ‘Here I Am’ is followed in our school and three topics are completed each term.
The pupils will have experience of:
- Recognising that people grow and develop up in different ways.
- Reflecting on how I have grown and changed.
- Respecting who I am and where I am now. New joys and responsibilities
- Relating my growth as a person to a God who loves and accepts me.
- Rejoicing in myself as a person. Expecting there will be difficult times as well as happy ones.
- Remembering that I am still growing and changing and God is with me at every stage.
- Renewing myself. What sort of person will I try to be in the future.
