Religious Education

We currently follow the ‘Come and See’ programme in school

Our Aims in the teaching of Religious Education are:

• To present engagingly a comprehensive content which is the basis of knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith;
• To enable pupils continually to deepen their religious and theological understanding and be able to communicate this effectively;
• To present an authentic vision of the Church’s moral and social teaching so that pupils can make a critique of the underlying trends in contemporary culture and society;
• To raise pupils’ awareness of the faith and traditions of other religious communities in order to respect and understand them;
• To develop the critical faculties of pupils so that they can relate their Catholic faith to daily life;
• To stimulate pupils’ imagination and provoke a desire for personal meaning as revealed in the truth of the Catholic faith;
• To enable pupils to relate the knowledge gained through Religious Education to their understanding of other subjects in the curriculum;
• To bring clarity to the relationship between faith and life, and between faith and culture.5
