Religious Education

At Lady Boswell’s, Christ is at the centre of our school. We value every member of our community as a unique child of God and seek to demonstrate His love through our words and actions. 

As a church school, R.E. is considered a core subject, with allocated weekly time and regular liaison  with the local parish church.  We teach the ‘Understanding Christianity’ syllabus, supplemented with World Faith units, following Diocese recommendations. This syllabus enables us to deliver high quality R.E. education that teaches the children to reflect deeply about faith and philosophical issues and gives them the theological knowledge and religious vocabulary to be able to express their own considered and comparative viewpoints. R.E. prepares the children to be empathetic and reflective, well-informed citizens of the future, giving them the cultural capital necessary to become effective leaders in the multi-faith, global society of tomorrow.

Our school values are integral to our spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) curriculum, R.E. curriculum and Christian development. The values of forgiveness, kindness, honesty, respect, faith and love are woven through the curriculum  and  children and adults alike search for these values in themselves and others and look for ways that these can be further expressed in their lives. Our aim for our children is to help them develop into courageous advocates of their faith and belief, ready to search out opportunities to take a role in local and global communities.
