Religious Education

At Collingwood Primary School, our RE provision aims to allow children to explore their own beliefs through learning about different religions, beliefs, values and traditions. Children are given the chance to develop respect and sensitivity towards others, promoting acceptance of different faiths. At Collingwood, we aim to combat prejudice and disrespect to others, ensuring our children can live alongside others in our multicultural Britain today.

Religious Education can lead children into various careers, such as: Chaplin, pastor, lecturer or teacher.
