To fulfil the aims of the Religious Education Curriculum Directory, Religious Education (RE)  is primarily taught through the Come and See programme of work. It is taught through the process of Explore, Reveal and Respond. We dedicate one week per term to the teaching of other world religions including Judaism, Islam and Hinduism.

The aims of RE (as stated in the Religious Education Curriculum Directory) are:

• To present engagingly a comprehensive content which is the basis of knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith;
• To enable pupils continually to deepen their religious and theological understanding and be able to communicate this effectively;
• To present an authentic vision of the Church’s moral and social teaching so that pupils can make a critique of the underlying trends in contemporary society;
• To raise pupils’ awareness of the faith and traditions of other religious communities in order to respect and understand them;
• To develop the critical faculties of pupils so that they can relate their Catholic faith to daily life;
• To stimulate pupils’ imagination and provoke a desire for personal meaning as revealed in the truth of the Catholic faith;
• To enable pupils to relate to the knowledge gained through Religious Education to their understanding of other subjects in the curriculum;
• To bring clarity to the relationship between faith and life, and between faith and culture.
