Although this is not an examined subject, Religious Studies is an essential part of all children’s education. At Beaudesert we aim to:-

• Enable pupils to explore and reflect on religious and spiritual beliefs and practices.
• Enhance pupils’ spiritual, moral, cultural and social development as they learn both about and from religion.
• Develop knowledge and understanding of The Bible.
• Introduce pupils to Christianity.
• Develop awareness of other world religions.
• Develop study skills such as analysis, critical thinking and effective communication both orally and on paper.
• Encourage pupils to listen to and respect other people’s opinions.
• Foster interest in religious issues.

To promote all British values, in particular tolerance of those of other faiths and beliefs.

The Year 6 children visit Gloucester Cathedral as part of their studies.

The Year 8s visit Gloucester Mosque and complete a project on Islam.
