Our aims for the teaching of Religious Education are to enrich the lives of our pupils in the:

  • Love of God for everyone and everything He created
  • Understanding of the ‘Good News’ of the Lord, to enable ourselves and others to respond to God’s love
  • Teaching of the Catholic faith
  • Growth of faith by relating the Gospels to their lives and levels of understanding, linked to our Mission Statement and the Come and See programme
  • Development of prayer and worship
  • Awareness and respect of other faiths and cultures

The teacher friendly material has been written by a group of experienced diocesan advisors. The Catechism of the Catholic Church addresses the search for meaning in life.
