Religious Education

Despite its name, St. Luke’s Primary School is not affiliated with a particular religious denomination.

The school's scheme of work for religious education follows the guidelines of the local agreed RE syllabus with modifications to suit the children’s abilities.

Religious education is carried out as far as is practical and appropriate, given the children’ learning difficulties.  Much emphasis is given to encouraging an appreciation of others and the world about us.  Individual children may be taught some of the stories and all will experience aspects of some of the festivities associated primarily with Christianity but with other religions too. As part of the planned work, the children will have opportunities to visit different places of worship and interact with community leaders from different faiths.

Whole school and class assemblies do not have a religious character. School assemblies are led by teachers and classes on a rota basis. The aim of these assemblies are to get the children to reflect on their behaviour and the behaviour of others, to appreciate aspects of the world around them, to celebrate their achievements and good work, to celebrate birthdays and to share news. Class assemblies have similar aims with an emphasis on what has happened that day and what will happen the next day.

Parents may exercise their right to withdraw their child from timetabled assemblies, visits to places of worship and religious education generally. They should make a request directly to the head teacher.
