There is a statutory requirement to provide religious education and religious observance in schools. The emphasis is on caring, co-operating, understanding and respecting each other as well as understanding different values in our modern society. The main Christian festivals are celebrated in our school. We have links with the local church, and they kindly allow us to use the church and the church hall for celebration events and performances throughout the year, which enables us to be able to invite parents to these events. Children also learn about other world religions and their customs and festivals.
Parents have the right to withdraw their children from religious education and observance if they so wish. Parents who wish to exercise their right to withdraw their child from religious instruction and/or observance should contact the Head Teacher, in writing, and alternative arrangements will be made for your child.
