As a Church of England school with deep roots in the community, we’re proud to welcome all families and children. Our RE curriculum reflects this openness, creating a respectful and warm environment where everyone feels included, regardless of their beliefs. Our school was originally founded by Elizabeth Wilkinson, who wanted to support children in the local area, and we still carry that legacy of community care and inclusiveness today. We have created the space in our curriculum for pupils to learn about the role of religion and sacred places contextually within our community. In line with the Church of England’s goals for RE, we want children to see this subject as a safe, engaging and thought-provoking space where they can ask questions and find meaning. The principal aim of RE is to enable pupils to hold balanced and informed conversations about religion and worldviews. Through RE, we hope to help each child become a thoughtful, kind, and confident individual, who feels “found” and valued, just like the lost sheep, ready to live a life of purpose and joy.
