Our aim is to develop the children's knowledge and understanding
of the major world faiths and to encourage them to think about the
fundamental questions of life.
Our pupils reflect on what it means to have faith and develop
their own spiritual knowledge and understanding. We use the
children's own experiences of festivals such as Easter, Diwali and
Passover to enrich each other's understanding and appreciation of
different faiths. This is often part of a whole school assembly and
may include children sharing a particular activity, for example a
traditional dance.
We also organise visits to local places of worship and invite
representatives of local religious groups to come into school to
talk to the children. In addition, we often use Assemblies to
reflect on moral and religious issues.
I like RS because I like learning about different faiths.
