Overview
The teaching of Religious Education reflects current legislation as outlined in relevant Education Acts, DFES circulars, and the Rochdale Agreed Syllabus for R.E. As per the 1988 Education Reform Act, Religious Education (RE) makes a significant contribution to the personal development of young people.
KS3 students have discreet RE lessons as part of their RESPECT lessons. At KS4 students study RE as part of the form-time programme and the assembly programme also supplements this curriculum area.

Religious Education hugely contributes to promoting the Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development of students.
Through provoking challenging questions about the ultimate meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about God and the issues of right and wrong; students are given the opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding through an ‘enquiries’ approach in line with the SACRE recommendation.
