Religious Education
Religious Education is an academic subject in its own right. It helps young people explore religion, belief and worldviews, and consider important questions about meaning, values and ethics. It supports understanding of different beliefs and perspectives, helping pupils engage thoughtfully with the diverse communities and society in which they live. It helps builds cohesive, respectful and resilient communities.
Our funding and resources empower teachers to inspire curiosity, celebrate diversity, and build understanding across communities.
