Overview

Religious Education

Introduction

Eckington School's Religious Education Department aims to engage, inspire, challenge and encourage students, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to answer challenging questions. Religious education contributes significantly to developing students' cultural awareness and enables them to ask deep and often searching questions about their own faith and beliefs and the belief, faith and opinion of others regarding contemporary moral issues. Students will also deepen their understanding of God and the beliefs and practices of the world’s major faiths. The teaching of religious education helps students to make clear links between the beliefs, practices and value systems of various faiths studied. The religious education curriculum at Eckington is designed to help students develop responsibility and respect for all aspects of diversity and belief, whether that is social, cultural and religious, and to prepare students well for life in modern Britain.
