The aim of BPE is for all students to consider the variety of beliefs and values in our world today and to develop a respect and tolerance for all. Along side this, students will be challenged to develop and express their own perspective on questions of faith, meaning and morality. We share this goal with our students: ‘Considering different world views in the search for meaning in life and in questions of right and wrong.’
Please note the following:
- Parents have the right to withdraw their children from all or part of religious education.
- For any requests to withdraw your child from religious education, please contact the school to arrange a meeting with the Principal in the first instance.
Further information about the right to withdraw from RE can be found on the NATRE (National Association of Teachers of RE) website.
Schools should also provide a paper copy of this information free of charge if requested by a parent or carer.
