Curriculum Information » Religious Education
Religious Education helps young people to understand and articulate their own views about religion and world views. It helps them comprehend that not everyone feels the same as them but teaches them to see other people’s points of view. It gives them an understanding of why people think and behave differently and how that impacts society.
Good Religious Education teaches about a range of religious and non-religious worldviews, enhancing understanding and cultivating mutual respect and tolerance. It offers time and space, allowing students to reflect on their own thoughts, providing opportunities to raise questions for themselves and of others. It encourages them to think about their experiences and how they respond to others and the world around them. Ultimately, it has the potential to contribute towards community cohesion and the shaping of society for a better future.
