Religious Education
The school values a strong foundation in faith, stories, teachings, and practices. Using the Religious Education Directory (RED) scheme, lessons inspire curiosity and deepen understanding, while fostering awe and wonder. Inclusive teaching ensures all pupils thrive and make excellent progress throughout their time at school.
RE teaching comprises 10% of our weekly timetable.
Our RE lead is Mrs Susan McDonald.
Religious Education Directory (RED)
The RED follows a spiral curriculum, revisiting key themes each year to deepen understanding. The six curriculum branches are:
• Creation and Covenant
• Prophecy and Promise
• Galilee to Jerusalem
• Desert to Garden
• To the Ends of the Earth
• Dialogue and Encounter
These branches guide pupils through an evolving RE journey in Catholic schools.
