Religious Education

Our Philosophy
 
The RE curriculum underpins everything we do at Our Lady of the Angels.  It permeates day to day life as well as our broader curriculum teaching and learning where we make frequent connections to our Catholic ethos.
 
Collective worship provides us with opportunities to teach about the Gospel and its values and to also explore how we can further develop the catholic virtues of Prudence, Justice, Fortitude and Temperance within ourselves.  
 
All pupils receive weekly Religious Education lessons based on the Come and See programme.  We work hard to ensure that lessons are thought provoking, enjoyable and accessible to all children regardless of their religion, culture or ability.  
 
In addition all pupils receive regular opportunities to study other faiths.  These include Judaism, Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism.
