Religious Education

St Mary’s School is committed to offering each child the experience to develop their understanding of the Catholic faith. We teach Religious Education lessons every day for 30 minutes, all teachers at our school undergo specialised training to be able to deliver this content with confidence and expert knowledge.

Through our Religion curriculum we aim to promote integrated personal development which encourages students to develop into Christian men and women who have learned to serve and be responsible for themselves and others.

Over the year each class will be taught a total of 8 different units, each catering for a specific area of the Catholic Religion. The focus of each unit links to either an important time in the Catholic calendar, the Sacred Sacraments or Catholic customs and traditions. The unit focuses are listed below
