The Aim of Religious Education

The aim of religious education in Bedfordshire is to contribute educationally to the development of pupils as individuals and members of society by fostering a reflective approach to life in the context of a growing understanding of the experiences, attitudes, beliefs and religious practices of humanity.

(From the Bedfordshire Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education).

At Sandy Upper School, we aim to foster understanding and respect towards one another, in an environment where everybody’s opinion can be heard, and debate or discussion are encouraged.
