You will already find resources for KS3 and Year 10 and 11. So, if you have missed a lesson or need to revise a certain topic, look it up in the year folder, and then find the topic you need. The resources include the lesson plans used by the teachers. There are also revision notes and revision ideas in the topic folders, and the revision section. Also we have the very popular ‘What Box?’ (our philosophy section), the posting for ‘Pupil Awards’ and photos section. A full list of categories is available in the menus. We also have a Spirituality section and a section for our Learning Consultants.

To access the links inside the posts you click on the link and then either open or save it to your own files. You can also right click and open in new window.

You can also post comments and ideas, or even just ask a question about the topic or anything else.  There is a contact section in the staff pages if you want to get in touch without publishing a comment.

This is your site so if you have any bright ideas about what you’d like to see or something you’d like to add let me know.

Many people will ask: ‘What will my school/child/pupils/society gain from RE? Why give time to RE in an already over-crowded curriculum?’

These are important questions, which we should seriously consider. Likewise, those who ask should seriously consider the response and, if RE is still deemed to be low on the priority list, should be able to justify that position in the context of the nature, purpose and educational value of RE. 

RE helps students with their literacy, creativity, personal development and critical thinking; it provides opportunities for and develops their ability to reflect on experience; it develops debating, reasoning, self-expression, relationships, and self-understanding; it helps students and staff’s understanding of identity-in-difference; in their search for meaning, purpose and value and their sense of humour and enjoyment!

It helps schools with their ethos, values, sense of community and belonging, relationships for learning and behaviour, expectations and aspirations. It helps society to grow, share, understand, deal with controversy, learn to disagree whilst living together in community. To explore meaning and truth, live by values; and understand and respectfully challenge and be challenged by people of different lifestyles, beliefs and practices. 

It helps us as humans to explore visions of humanity and at the same time reflect on the depths to which that humanity can sink and the heights they can achieve.
