We want students to be prepared for adult life in an increasingly interconnected world and a country that has a diverse range of beliefs.
To achieve this, we want students to gain knowledge and understanding of the beliefs and practices of the world’s major religions. We want the students to develop their ability to analyse and contextualise religious teachings, rituals and experiences. We want students to be able to express their own views at the same time as respecting the views of other people.
In order to help students make sense of complex moral issues, we study a range of key philosophical thinkers and religious writing on contemporary religious and ethical debates. Students should have the knowledge and evaluation skills to reach their own conclusions, based on evidence and argument.
At Ormiston Denes, through our RE curriculum, we are committed to developing within our students an understanding of cultural diversity, empathy and tolerance for others, enabling them to become 21st century global citizens. However, should you wish to discuss the right to withdraw from the RE curriculum, please get in touch with the academy.
We run lunch time drop-in sessions for Key Stage 4 students who want support with their work.
