Service Description

Teaching Religious Education in primary schools is a powerful way to help children develop empathy, respect, and a deeper understanding of the diverse world around them. RE encourages pupils to explore different beliefs, values, and cultures, fostering open-mindedness and critical thinking from an early age. By embracing the opportunity to lead RE, teachers play a vital role in nurturing thoughtful, compassionate citizens who are equipped to contribute positively to society. These lessons go beyond knowledge—they help children reflect on their own values, understand others, and build the foundations for a more inclusive and respectful future.
