- Religious Education and Worship as a Church of England School, the RE curriculum is determined by the Gloucestershire Agreed Syllabus. This is consistent with expectation in that it shall reflect the fact that the religious traditions in
Great Britain
are in the main Christian whilst taking into account the teaching and practices of the other principal religions in
Great Britain".
Collective worship is taken by members of staff, the local clergy and members of the wider community. We also aim to emphasise the importance of Spirituality in our lives. Parents wishing to exercise their rights to withdraw their children from RE and/or Collective Worship should contact the Head Teacher
- Personal, Social, Health, Moral, Citizenship and Emotional Education the values of the school are Aspiration, Confidence, Friendship and Respect. We use these as a vehicle to help children develop positive respect for the individual, value achievement of everyone and encourage positive attitudes. We use the SEAL (Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning) Scheme to deliver this part of the curriculum
- Sex and Relationship Education this is taught in the wider contexts of PSHMCE, RE and Science. Questions raised by the children are answered with sensitivity and relate to family life, loving relationships and respect for others. Appropriate use is made of published materials, programmes and the School Nurse to enrich this part of the curriculum. Parents and carers are informed when the Years 5 and 6 children are to have this delivered
