Religious Education |
Although the subject is not part of the National Curriculum schools must teach
it to all their pupils as part of the basic curriculum. Apart from voluntary-aided

syllabus’ through each local education authority. The provision
of RE promotes pupils’ spiritual, moral, cultural, social and intellectual
development.
