Religious Education Curriculum
The Religious Education programme includes Diocesan plans and the scheme - The Way, the Truth & the Life. All lessons aim to cover the 4 areas of the Curriculum Directory which are:
The time allocated to the teaching of Religious Education is 10 percent of the total curriculum time. Staff are supported by training opportunities provided by our school advisor from the Diocese of Westminster to develop their knowledge and understanding of Religious Education. Spirituality is developed through prayer, collective worship and celebration of Mass.
The Wednesday Word is our way of Sharing Sunday’s Gospel with parents and families of our pupils.
Parents are invited to attend all celebrations and services and share in the various religious experiences provided for children and families by the school.
Two weeks of the year are dedicated to the teaching of Judaism and Islam and other faiths are taught at appropriate festival occasions. Our aim within this context is that all members of the school community show respect for each other and our wider communities.
Prayer & Liturgy
Pupils are invited to help prepare prayer and liturgy, they choose readings, prayers and music and set up the prayer focus. They actively participate in assemblies and celebrations throughout the year. All our prayer and worship connects to the church liturgical calendar. Parents are provided with the prayers their children need to be familiar with and encouraged to support their children in their prayer formation.
