Religious and moral education enables children and young people to explore the world’s major religions and views which are independent of religious belief and to consider the challenges posed by these beliefs and values. It supports them in developing and reflecting upon their values and their capacity for moral judgement.
Religous and moral education cover four key areas:
Christianity and World Religions: Pupils learn about Christianity alongside other major world religions, their sacred texts, traditions, and practices.
Independent Beliefs: The curriculum also includes non-religious and independent belief systems, such as Humanism.
Three Main Organisers: Learning is structured around Beliefs, Values and Issues, and Practices and Traditions.
Personal Development: Students explore moral values like wisdom, justice, compassion, and integrity while developing critical thinking and empathy.
