Religious Education
Religious Education is a legal entitlement for every pupil. It forms part of the BASIC CURRICULUM (National Curriculum + RE). Its place in the school curriculum acknowledges the important role which beliefs and values play in people’s lives, regardless of any religious commitments. It also acknowledges that religious beliefs and practices play an important role in the lives of many people worldwide today as they have done throughout history. As a curriculum area, RE offers pupils an opportunity to develop a better understanding of themselves, the people around them and the world in which they live.
St Philip's is a Voluntary Aided C of E Primary School. The Governing Body of our school has adopted the Cambridgeshire Agreed Syllabus (2023-2028) This sets out aims and programmes of study for RE. The Diocese provides additional guidance suited to the particular needs of a Church School.
