Religious Education
As a Catholic School, we attach the greatest importance to Religious Education in the life of our school. This not only applies to specific RE lessons but in the every day interaction of school life, assemblies, meal times, play times and all the relationships that exist within the school. We try to help children to find a personal faith in God and to enjoy a sense of awe and wonder at His creation. We teach tolerance and respect for other faiths, races and cultures.
The Parish Priest takes an active interest in the school and its religious life. Mass and liturgies are celebrated in the school each week. The School celebrates acts of collective worship each day, in class groups or as a whole school.
Our RE curriculum is called Discerning Disciples and is the curriculum followed by all Catholic schools within the archdiocese of Birmingham.
There are 6 branches covered every year in all year groups and each year builds upon the learning and knowledge from the previous year.
The 6 branches are
- Creation and Covenant
- Prophesy and Promise
- Galilee to Jerusalem
- Desert to Garden
- To the Ends of the Earth
- Dialogue and Encounter
