Religious and Moral Education provides pupils with the opportunity to explore values and beliefs from around the world. By exploring the world’s major religions, pupils are introduced to the diversity of beliefs and life experiences that exist around the world and in our own country. Through developing an awareness and an appreciation of the value of each individual in a diverse society, religious and moral education engenders responsible attitudes towards other people. The value of learning about religion, and from religion, is that pupils develop an understanding of diversity in our society and their own roles in it.

At Bargarran, pupils will be given the opportunity each year to explore an area of Christianity as well as aspects of other world religions. Pupil will learn about religious stories and festivals while also developing an understanding for how religion and belief affect the lives of people around the world. Religious and Moral Education is approached from a stand point of interest and respect and pupils are encouraged to relate their learning in RME to our school’s rights respecting ethos.
We also have a close link with Erskine Parish Church and Rev. David Nicolson. We are very grateful for Rev. Nicolson’s input to the life of the school.
