R.E. (Religious education)

Parents and carers have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of our R.E. curriculum.

However, at Blenheim, we are very proud of our multicultural and diverse school. Our school promotes tolerance and respect for all religious beliefs, faiths and values throughout the curriculum and especially within RE. Children are able to engage and discuss their own beliefs, morals and values within lessons in a respectful environment. Religious Education encourages them to reflect on important moral questions and helps them to develop respect for and understanding of the views of others. Lessons may include reference to all faiths at any stage, however the core religions will be studied in depth - Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Non-religious world views and Sikhism. RE plays an important role in preparing our children for their future, for employment and lifelong learning and it enhances their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
