Religious Education

Religious Education at JCFS

The teaching of RE aims to develop an individual’s knowledge and understanding of a variety of religions and beliefs which form part of contemporary society. It aids spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, children’s personal development and well-being and encourages community cohesion.

At Jupiter, we explore several main religions, comparing and contrasting their beliefs and practices, developing children’s knowledge and understanding as they progress through school. RE at Jupiter provokes challenging questions, encourages pupils to explore their own beliefs, enables them to build their sense of identity and belonging and teaches pupils to develop respect for others.
