Religious Education

At Peterchurch, Religious Education (RE) is an important part of everyday learning. Our RE lessons help pupils explore a wide range of religious and non-religious beliefs, make sense of different worldviews, and understand their relevance in today's world. We follow the Herefordshire Agreed Syllabus, ensuring the RE is engaging, meaningful and accessible to every pupil, including those with SEND.

Throughout RE at Peterchurch, pupils develop curiosity, respect and understanding. equipping them to appreciate diversity, reflect on their own beliefs and engage positively with the world around them.
