Religious Education is taught to all pupils in the school in KS3 and KS4. Each child receives two lessons per fortnight.

Our aims are to encourage pupils to think about, question and respond to religious ideas and practices and to understand the value of religion on the lives of individuals, communities and nations.

Pupils are given the opportunity to think for themselves, to examine evidence, work out their own positions and beliefs, to express those ideas and be prepared to listen to and respect the views of others.

We follow the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Agreed syllabus in KS3.

All work reflects the Christian tradition of this country as well as reflecting the fact that we are part of a multi-cultural society.
