Religious Education
Religious Education at the Duke of Bedford
At The Duke of Bedford Primary School, we believe that it is important for all of our pupils to learn from and about religion and spirituality, so that they can understand the diverse and exciting world around them. The aim of Religious Education in our school is to help children to acquire and develop knowledge and understanding of Christianity and the other principal religions represented in Great Britain; to appreciate the way that religious beliefs shape life and behaviour, develop the ability to make reasoned and informed judgements about religious and moral issues and enhance their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Religious Education plays an important role, along with all other curriculum areas, particularly PSHCE, in promoting social awareness, respect, tolerance and understanding in our children. We encourage our pupils to ask questions about the world and to reflect on their own beliefs, values and experiences. We include and promote British values, ensuring that children are aware of their rights and responsibilities as UK citizens.
