RE is Important Because...

"In science we learn about 'how', in history we learn about 'when' but in RE we get to learn about 'why'! - Jacob, Year 5.

"Religious education in a Church school should enable every child to flourish and live life in all its fullness. (John 10:10). It will help educate for dignity and respect encouraging all to live well together (The Church of England Education Office - Religious Education in Church of England Schools, A Statement of Entitlement Feb 2019)

Such an approach is offered through a commitment to generous hospitality, being true to our underpinning faith, but with a deep respect for the integrity of other religious traditions (and world views) and for the religious freedom of each person.’”
