The school has recently been awarded a Gold certification for their work in Religious Education. This will be the third time of receiving the highest level of a national accreditation in the subject. RE lead Naomi Anstice explains “As a community school, we provide our pupils with an inclusive world view approach to learning about religion in the world around them, which is essential to their growth as a citizen in modern day Britain. As well as learning about beliefs and practices, they also learn to question; to analyse and to consider their own personal influences and world view. Through our RE lessons we also teach empathy, respect, diversity and anti-racism”.
Speakers on other faiths regularly visit the school and children have visited Liverpool’s synagogue, mosque and cathedral. Last summer 4 pupils gave a presentation about the importance of RE to 150 Cheshire West teachers at Forest Hills Hotel.
Feedback from the REQM assessor, Imran Mogra stated that “the RE provided at this school is a beacon for forward and future looking schools… The children have very positive attitudes towards learning RE and worldviews and the relevance of the subject in their daily lives”.
Congratulations to pupils and staff to their commitment to achieving excellence in the curriculum.
