St Patrick's R C Primary School

Learn. Grow. Shine.

RE

Mrs Hindley is the RE Coordinator at St. Patrick’s.

As a Catholic school, we promote and teach the doctrine and philosophy of the Catholic Church.   This includes participating in collective acts of worship each day and also attending whole school masses.

Our school is inspected under Section 48, which is a diocesan inspection. The Section 48 Report evaluates the provision for worship and religious education being offered at a school.  A copy of that report can be found here.

The intent of our RE curriculum is to bring the awe and wonder of this subject to every lesson.

The “Come and See” programme was developed to respond to the needs of children today in their faith journey, to enable them to grow in their religious literacy and understanding in a way that is coherent with current educational principles. It integrates the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Catholic Levels Of Attainment and the new Religious Education Curriculum Directory.

At the heart of the curriculum is the mystery of God’s self revelation of love through Jesus Christ.

Right to withdraw

The right of withdrawal from Religious Education and/or Worship

Parents of pupils in Voluntary Aided schools are permitted, by law, to request that their child is withdrawn from receiving all or part of religious education and/or collective worship given at the school and any such request shall stand until such time that a parent’s request is withdrawn.

If you wish for your child to be withdrawn from all or any aspect of RE/Worship, please arrange a meeting with the Headteacher.

What happens to the pupil if he/she is withdrawn from Religious Education and/or Collective Worship?

If pupils are withdrawn from religious education and/or collective worship, schools have a duty to supervise them, though not to provide additional teaching or to incur extra costs.

 

Further information available on request.
