About the department

Religious Education helps students to examine their own beliefs and sense of meaning and purpose in life and to investigate and understand what religious faith and non-religious beliefs mean to other people. Students are given the opportunity to express their own thoughts and opinions and show understanding of other points of view which are different from their own. RE also helps them to appreciate the diversity of the people around them, of religious faith and none, and develop an understanding of how people of different backgrounds can work together to build strong communities.
