Religious Education
“My teacher makes RE lessons really fun because we do lots of debates and are all allowed to give our point of view and respect everyone’s views” Year 5
“We learn new things in RE, but we always remind ourselves about what we have already learnt we aren’t always starting over again. It always leads on from something we already know about.” Year 4 |
Our Subject Lead for Religious Education is Mrs Earley.
“At Blackpool, our objective, in line with our school vision, is to enable our children to develop their understanding of Christianity, other religions and world views. Through a progressive curriculum, children are taught how to understand different beliefs and make connections. They are given opportunities to explore their spirituality and reflect on their own beliefs. We are passionate about equipping our children with the skills they need to be effective global citizens. From the earliest age we teach children how to voice and develop opinions in a respectful way.”
Our Curriculum Drivers in Religious Education:
Religious Education in Early Years:
Children begin to encounter religious and non-religious world views through special people, places, books, times and objects. They are encouraged to ask questions and reflect on their own feelings and experiences allowing them to begin to develop their own spirituality.

Parents have the right to withdraw their children from religious education and should contact the Head of School to ask for this. Parents will be invited to a meeting to discuss withdrawal and to explore how their concern may be met. Parents are not obliged to attend such a meeting in which case withdrawal shall be put into effect immediately and the school will notify the parent.
