At Radcliffe-on-Trent Junior School, we believe that Religious Education (RE) plays an important role in helping children develop an understanding of different religions, beliefs and worldviews. Our RE curriculum encourages pupils to develop respect, understanding and appreciation of the diverse beliefs and cultures within our school community and wider society.

In accordance with the law, parents and carers have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of Religious Education (RE).

We encourage parents and carers who are considering withdrawal to speak with the Headteacher, Mrs Clare Allsopp, so that we can explain the aims and content of our RE curriculum and answer any questions they may have. However, parents and carers are not required to provide a reason for their decision, and withdrawal is not dependent on attending a meeting.

Parents and carers wishing to withdraw their child from RE are asked to make their request in writing to the Headteacher. The school will respect their decision and make appropriate arrangements for their child to be supervised during RE lessons.

We are committed to maintaining positive and respectful communication with all families and ensuring that the rights and beliefs of parents, carers and pupils are respected.
