RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Religious education
 

Freedom of thought and academic enquiry are highly valued

Welcome

The Newington Religious Education department aims to:

  • develop in students a knowledge and understanding of the major religions
  • foster compassion towards others
  • encourage ethical decision making which takes into consideration personal religious beliefs and spirituality.

In general, the approach to the Bible is based on the mainstream, liberal Christian tradition rather than a fundamentalist, literalist emphasis.

Freedom of thought and academic enquiry are highly valued and the department aims to give each student the necessary knowledge and skills to help him make informed choices about the place of religion in his own life.

Acting Head of Religious Education: Mr Jeremy Hall
