RE
To explore what people believe and what differences this makes to how they live their lives, including our own local diverse culture. Children will reflect on their own beliefs and how these are similar and different to their peers, building respect and tolerance.
The right of withdrawal from RE
In accordance with the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 section 71, parents and carers have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of RE and acts of collective worship, should they wish to do so.
Our aim is to help children understand religious beliefs and values in order to encourage reflection and reflect for others. As a result, if a parent is considering exercising the right to withdraw their child from RE we would encourage you to discuss this with us in the first instance.
We support selective withdrawal from RE lessons. Requests to withdraw your child from RE should be made in writing to the Head teacher via the school office or via email on admin@ferndale.sandwell.sch.uk.
