RE at Blackwell

RE at Blackwell is designed to enable children to learn from religions and world views about different ways of life. They discover, explore and consider many different answers to questions about human identity, meaning and value. They learn to weigh up for themselves the value of wisdom from different communities, to disagree respectfully, to be reasonable in their responses to religions and world views and to respond by expressing insights about their own and others’ lives. They think rigorously, creatively, imaginatively and respectfully about their ideas in relation to religion and world views.

There is a legal requirement for RE to be taught in school. RE is an entitlement for all pupils, however parents/carers do have the right to withdraw their child from some or all of the RE curriculum. Please speak to the head of school regarding this.
