--- title: "Religious Education" url: "https://ladybridgecpschool.schudio.com/about-us/Curriculum-subjects/religious-education" school: "Ladybridge Community Primary School" --- # Religious Education RE addresses a wide spectrum of issues about humanity and how we exist as members of the global community. Critical self-awareness is nurtured as RE tackles questions about the ultimate meaning of life, humanity and beliefs about God. It ranges across ethical and moral debates, issues around the family and community as well as environmental concerns. Pupils are actively encouraged to develop a strong sense of engagement, respect, self-understanding, and curiosity through the study of different religions and world beliefs. A sense of wonder is central to the study of RE. **Contribution to the curriculum** RE supports the values of the curriculum by actively promoting the values of truth, justice, and respect for all.
