Religious Education (RE) is taught to all children except those whose parents choose to opt out. Our teaching promotes the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of our pupils. It reflects the fact that the religious traditions in Great Britain are in the main Christian, whilst taking account of the teaching and practices of other principal religions represented. Our teaching enables pupils to acquire knowledge and understanding of religious beliefs, attitudes, practices and rituals. Children will also develop their own beliefs, values and learn to question what they see. They will also develop awareness that some people have no attachment to religious beliefs and follow secular philosophies. 

We follow the Lincolnshire Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education (LASRE):

Parental Right to Withdraw from Religious Education (RE)

We respect the rights of parents and carers regarding their child’s education. Under current legislation, parents and carers have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of Religious Education (RE) lessons. This includes activities related to Religious Education that do not form part of the statutory National Curriculum.

If you wish to exercise this right, we ask that you inform the school in writing, detailing whether you are withdrawing your child from all or specific parts of the RE curriculum. We are happy to discuss any concerns you may have and provide further information to help you make an informed decision.
