At St Michael’s CE Primary School, we believe that it is important for all our pupils to learn from and about religion, so that they can understand the world around them. The aims of Religious Education in our school are:

• To enable pupils to know about and understand Christianity as a living faith that influences the lives of people worldwide and as the religion which has most shaped British culture and heritage.
• To enable pupils to know about and understand other world religions and world views and their impact on society, culture and the wider world.
• To enable pupils to consider and express their own ideas and insights.
• To contribute to the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils and their own spiritual and philosophical convictions.
• To develop a positive attitude towards other people, respecting their right to hold different beliefs from their own and towards living in a society of diverse religions.
