Teaching Staff
| Mrs J Skilton | Teacher of RE and Head of Department |
| Mr P Griffiths | Teacher of RE and English |
In RE we offer opportunities for pupils to study Christianity and the other major world faiths in Britain in order to:
• learn to understand and respect different religions, beliefs, values and traditions (including ethical life stances), and understand their influence on individuals, societies, communities and cultures;
• explore issues within, across and between faiths and consider questions of meaning and purpose in life;
• learn about religious and ethical teaching, enabling them to make reasoned and informed judgements on religious and moral issues;
• develop their sense of identity and belonging, preparing them for adult life as citizens in a plural society;
• develop skills of enquiry and response in analysis, expression, reflection, evaluation and application, through the use of distinctive language, listening and empathy.
