At St Mary's, we aim to guide the children to become religiously literate young people who have the knowledge, understanding and skills to think spiritually and theologically and who are aware of the demands of religious commitment in everyday lives. Religious Education is a core subject in our school and is taught for at least 10% of the weekly timetable as well as being embedded across our wider curriculum.

Our Religious Education curriculum is based on the delivery of the Religious Education Directory- To Know You More Clearly, supported by the Magister RE Curriculum. We ensure that our RE curriculum is creative in order to enthuse our children further. Our RE curriculum enables the children to explore scripture and key questions of life from the Christian tradition and how to put what they have learned into context.

As an integral part of our RE curriculum, we also work closely with our local Parish to prepare liturgies and we value the partnership between home, school and parish and the wider community.
