Religious Education is the core subject central to the life of a Catholic Primary School. It engages pupils with life’s deepest questions and helps them find reasons for hope, as highlighted in the scripture:
“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” – 1 Peter 3:15
Religious Education focuses on the Christian vision of the human person and supports pupils in developing:
Religious literacy
The ability to reflect spiritually
Ethical and theological thinking
An awareness of the demands of religious commitment in everyday life
To meet educational aims and objectives, schools follow the Scheme of Work recommended by the Archdiocese of Liverpool. This is aligned with the Religious Education Directory:
“To Know You More Clearly” – Model curriculum mandated by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales.
