Religious and Moral Education
The key aspects covered in our RME programme are:
- Christianity
- World religions
Beliefs and valuesThese are taught throughout the school in topics appropriate to each stage. Children enjoy learning about the beliefs and customs of our own and other cultures. It is recognised that the Education Act allows parents to withdraw their children from any religious observance and any such pupil will not be placed at a disadvantage with respect to secular instruction. Should you wish your child to be withdrawn from Religious Education, please contact the Head Teacher. (01698 274923)
Parents from ethnic minority religious communities may request that their children be permitted to be absent from school in order to celebrate recognised religious events. Only written requests will be considered. Appropriate requests will be granted on not more than three occasions in any one school session and the pupil noted as an authorised absence in the register.
In school, each class takes its turn to hold an assembly. You will be invited to come along when your child is involved – Please do!
We hold services in Coltness Memorial Church at Christmas, Easter and Summer, to which you are warmly invited.
