Secondary Religious Education

Aims of religious education

RE image The aims of religious education are to enable pupils:

to develop awareness of the spiritual and moral dimensions of life-experiences, identify questions and issues which they raise, and respond in a variety of ways to them;
to develop knowledge and understanding of Christianity, other principal
religions, and value systems represented in Great Britain;
to develop understanding of what it might mean to be committed to a religious tradition;
to reflect on their own experiences, beliefs and values and develop personal responses to ultimate questions in the light of their studies;
to have confidence in their own viewpoint whilst engaging in open and honest enquiry; respecting the right of others to hold beliefs different from their own in a religiously diverse society.

Each of these aims contributes to the spiritual, moral, social and cultural education of pupils.
