Religious Education at Fairfields School
At Fairfields School we follow the Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus of Education. RE is a statutory entitlement for all pupils including Reception year. It is locally determined rather than nationally stipulated within the National Curriculum. Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education is agreed after consultation with schools and faith leaders by SACRE :- Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education. Schools have to teach RE but parents can withdraw their children for all or part of the lessons.
To ensure all pupils have challenge and depth of learning we compliment Hertfordshire Syllabus with Discovery RE. This ensures that all pupils become informed and independent learners.
