At Coaley, our aim is for pupils to understand how worldviews influence people’s lives, including their own, through the study of religious and non-religious worldviews, so that they better understand themselves and the world around them, becoming better equipped to contribute to and flourish in society.
The syllabus for Religious Education is determined locally by SACREs (Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education)
The Gloucestershire Agreed Syllabus for 2025-2030 is being rolled out gradually over the 2025-2026 academic year. At Coaley, we began implementing the new syllabus in September 2025. It will become statutory in September 2026.
Religious Education plays a vital role in church schools, the expectations and standards required for the subject are clarified in the Church of England’s statement of entitlement.
