‘No colour, no religion, no nationality should come between us, we are all children of God,’ Mother Teresa. ‘RE is like an iceberg. As you unpack ideas, you come to understand deeper meaning.’ Anon
Why is it important to teach RE? Religious Education (RE) is a compulsory subject in the state education system in England, despite it not being part of the National Curriculum. Schools are required to teach a programme of religious studies according to local and national guidelines. As well as being an obligation, we believe much can be gained from RE lessons Learning about religion and learning from religion are important for all pupils, as Religious Education (RE) helps pupils develop an understanding of themselves and others. RE promotes the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of individuals and of groups and communities. Good teaching of RE will inspire in pupils a curiosity, fascination and understanding about the values, beliefs and traditions of people around the world – including themselves. The teaching and understanding of respecting diversity is at the core of British Values and is delivered throughout our RE curriculum.
