At Stonegate, we feel it is important to prepare pupils for life in a 21st Century world, and it is clear that religion and belief play a central role in local and global affairs. Religious education provides an ideal opportunity to explore matters of religions and non-religious beliefs, to find out what matters most to people in a wide range of traditions, and to discern what is of value for themselves as they develop their own ideas and ways of living.
Parents have the right to withdraw their child from RE and daily worship. Please speak to the headteacher if you are considering this.
We follow the East Sussex RE Syllabus (2022-27). The syllabus offers teachers the opportunity to plan and to deliver lessons which are informative, engaging and challenging and which will allow pupils to gain a developing understanding of the range of religious and non-religious world views studied, over a period of time. Our two year overview and other resources related to the teaching of RE can be found through further exploration of this page.
