Ringwood School RE Policy

During key stage 3 students will learn about Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism. There are opportunities for students to learn more about a religion of their choice in one module where students work independently. In key stage 4 some students opt for GCSE RS and when there is demand short course RE is offered too. All students have core RE as part of their social education programme.

Welcome to the Religious Education department at Ringwood School

What is RE?

RE at Ringwood School follows the Hampshire locally agreed syllabus, ‘Living Difference.’ Students have opportunities to learn about living faiths and how people following different beliefs actually live them out. In doing this students will appreciate how and why people live differently from each other.

We aim to encourage students to:

1. have REspect for other people’s ideas
2. compaRE religions
3. interpREt art, history, politics - religion affects them all!
4. REspond to religion in their own way
5. REsearch what other people believe and why
6. expREss their own opinions and beliefs and share them with others
7. search for the sacREd side of life

We support students in the development of their own values and principles and in their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
