Religious Education (R.E.) Curriculum Statement
The RE Curriculum at Martins Wood covers a range of themes and religions. Students explore concepts like creation, incarnation, salvation, and moral values through Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Islam, and Humanism. Key questions prompt critical thinking about the significance of Christmas, Easter, prayer, worship, beliefs, and commitment to God. The curriculum encourages understanding of different faiths, their practices, and the relevance of religious teachings in today’s world.
Parents/carers have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of RE lessons. If you wish to withdraw your child from all or part of RE lessons, please inform the school in writing by emailing admin@martinswood.herts.sch.uk.
