RE – Kibworth Mead Academy | TMET Leicester MAT

The aim of our RE curriculum is to give students a deep understanding of a variety of religions and of what it means to be religious. This understanding encompasses religious beliefs, teachings and practices, and sources of belief; as well as recognition of the variations within and between faiths.

We expect students to have a thorough understanding of the central place of Christianity in UK society. We provide frequent opportunities for our students to reflect deeply on the big ethical questions with which people have always wrestled, to consider the thoughts of religious and secular people and to develop informed personal responses to these questions.

Therefore by the end of Year 11 students will have a thorough understanding and appreciation of religions and of religious and ethical concepts, and this will be reflected in the work, kindness and pride they show as members of the school community.
