Religious Education (RE) has an important place in the curriculum of all schools. It provides a safe space for young people to develop their understanding of people, cultures, faiths and relationships. This agreed syllabus sets out detailed and extensive programmes that will enable pupils to gain a coherent understanding of religious and non-religious worldviews, preparing them for life in twenty-fi rst century Britain. It gives teachers clear guidance on how to approach the teaching of RE across all key stages, taking an innovative and rigorous approach that will promote high standards of RE in our schools.
