Religious Education
Religious Education “plays a vital part in developing citizenship through children and young people learning about faith and religion and their contribution to fostering positive relationships and building community cohesion.”
Greenwich’s Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education (2012)
Our religious education (RE) curriculum is delivered through the Royal Greenwich Local Authority's Agreed Syllabus and provides a distinct and valuable contribution to children's spiritual, moral, social and intellectual development.
RE provokes challenging questions about the ultimate meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about God, the self and the nature of reality, issues of right and wrong and what it means to be human.
It challenges our pupils to reflect on , consider, analyse, interpret and evaluate issues of truth, belief (both religious and non-religious), faith and ethics and to communicate their views. Children acquire knowledge and understanding of six of the world's major religions and how beliefs about God, the world and others impact on their lives and the lives of others. We believe RE promotes a positive attitude of respect, empathy and acceptance towards diverse cultures and beliefs in today's society.
We provide a variety of memorable learning opportunities that include celebrations, trips to different places of worship, visits from people of different faith communities, the handling of artefacts and the expressive arts.
Pupils are not told what religious views they should have but instead are supported to gain shared human understanding, develop personal identity and search for meaning in the context of evaluating different viewpoints.

Meet the lead
My name is Ms Ugiagbe. As the RE Subject Lead, I am passionate about creating a welcoming and inclusive space where children can explore and celebrate the rich diversity of beliefs and cultures that shape our world. Through engaging lessons, thoughtful discussions, and creative activities, I aim to inspire curiosity, understanding, and respect in every child.
RE at our school is more than a subject—it’s an opportunity for pupils to develop their own values, reflect on big questions, and appreciate different perspectives. My goal is to nurture confident, compassionate learners who are equipped to embrace the world with kindness and understanding.
If you have any questions pertaining to RE, you can find me in the Key Stage 1 playground at the end of the school day.
