RE

Religious Education is taught through the Northamptonshire Agreed Syllabus. This incorporates learning about a variety of different religions in our Local area and community including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Sikhism Humanism and many more. Pupils are taught to be reflective and considerate of the beliefs of others. 

As a Church of England School we enhance our curriculum with Understanding Christianity Units, as recommended by the Diocese of Peterborough. This provides children with a deeper understanding of the ‘Big Story’ of Christianity by using passages and stories from the bible to consider their meaning and reflect how this may affect our lives and others.

Right of Withdrawal

Parents can request permission for their child to be excused from religious worship, and the school will make alternative arrangements for the supervision of the child during that part of the assembly. Parents and carers do not have to explain or give reasons for their request. This right of withdrawal complies with the 1944 Education Act, and was restated in the 1988 Education Reform Act.

The head teacher keeps a record of all children who have been withdrawn from collective worship.
