Religious Education

The school follows the Come and See Scheme for the teaching of religious education. Except for Reception who are currently an early adopter of the New Religious Education Directory, which is set to launch in September 2026. Each term, families receive an overview document, which outlines the curriculum which will be taught in that term.

In addition to this RE curriculum, we also teach children about Catholic Social Teaching, through RE and the ‘Rooted in Love’ curriculum . Classes learn about the principles of Catholic Social Teaching on a half termly basis. Learning how they can live out these principles in everyday life.

Below you will find our RE Policy. In our school we follow the Come and See curriculum in Year 1 to Year 6. In Reception we are now following the new RED (Religious Education Directory). From September 2026, all classes will follow the new RED.

The school follows ‘Life to the Full’ programme for Sex and Relationships teaching.
