Religious Education

At Heathcote Primary, our RE curriculum is based on the Warwickshire and Coventry Local Authority’s (LA) Agreed Syllabus and it meets all the requirements set out in that document. Our curriculum is engaging and provides opportunities for pupils to explore the six main religions, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism, as well as Christianity. Children build upon their prior knowledge and have access to key knowledge, language and meanings in order to understand other cultures beliefs.

Please find below a copy of our RE long term plan and whole school progression map.

Right to Withdraw from Religious Education (RE)

We respect the rights of parents and guardians to make informed choices about their child's education. Under the Education Act, parents have the right to withdraw their child from Religious Education lessons if they feel it is in the best interest of their child. If you wish to exercise this right, please inform the school in writing, and we will ensure that alternative work is arranged for your child during RE lessons.

If you have any questions or need further clarification about this policy, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
