Religious Education and Collective Worship

RE is taught discretely unless opportunities arise to incorporate it into the topics. We follow the Lancashire RE syllabus focusing on key religions. Key questions are investigated in relation to the religions. Our assemblies are non denominational and focus on developing morally, socially and emotionally and we use the SEAL materials to support this.

We also take opportunities to raise awareness of the cultural make up or our school and hold various events to celebrate together eg our annual Hollywood Bollywood extravaganza to celebrate Eid, Harvest , Christmas, Easter
