At St Wilfrid’s, we believe that religious education is at the heart of all we do and very much part of our everyday school life. The Religious Education curriculum enables us to fulfil and live out our mission statement. Through our curriculum and ethos we aim to support the children to develop their relationship with God.
Through RE lessons, our children learn about the Catholic faith and develop their knowledge and understanding of life as a Catholic. Children are given the opportunity to examine their own religious beliefs and attitudes, as well as to develop respect and understanding of other faiths. They also learn about how they can use their faith to have a positive impact on the lives of those around them – both now and in the future.
In addition to our school liturgies, our parish priest, Fr Tom, and our Deacons, Deacon Tony and Deacon Allan, support our RE curriculum by visiting the classes to talk about the sacraments of Baptism and Ordination, as well as church teaching.
Our parish church is close by in East Preston, enabling us to regularly join our parish family for Sunday Mass.
