At St Clement’s, our aim is to deliver an RE curriculum that develops children’s knowledge and understanding of different beliefs, giving them the values and attitudes needed to be good citizens in a diverse and ever changing world. Following our school vision, ‘Love, Learn, Live', we strive to give children rich opportunities and broad learning experiences to enable them to flourish as unique individuals and appreciate, understand and value all beliefs, both in their local community and in the wider world. Our school vision and values guide all decisions about our school curriculum, ensuring every child can flourish and meet their full potential.

We aim to give our children opportunities to develop both a sense of belonging within their own local community and to develop a growing awareness of where they fit within the wider world by exploring a range of national and global issues. Our Religious Education curriculum contributes dynamically to our children’s education by exploring challenging questions about meaning and purpose in life, beliefs about God and issues of right and wrong. Children gain knowledge and understanding of a range of religions and world views.  Children learn to articulate their own personal beliefs, ideas, values and experiences while respecting the differences of others.

As a Church of England school, Religious Education plays an important role, along with all other curriculum areas, particularly PSHE and British Values, in promoting the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development of our children.
