Religious Education
Religious Education is the core subject in the curriculum and influences all that we teach and enables us to develop the whole person, in partnership with you, our parents, as the first educators of your children.
Through religious education teaching and learning we aim to:
- Provide each child with the opportunity to develop their relationship with God.
- Promote knowledge and understanding of Catholic faith and life.
- Develop awareness and understanding of the impact of faith upon our daily lives.
- Foster attitudes of respect towards all who live in our society.
- Develop skills linked to the reflection upon and practice of religious belief.
- Engage with difficult questions of meaning and purpose, to enable children to think critically about their own questions.
- To offer children a real sense of worth by belonging to a caring Christian Community.
To deliver Religious Education, we use the ‘Come and See’ programme, recommended by Liverpool Archdiocese. Come and See offers the opportunity to search, to explore, to discover and to respond to what it is to be human.
All our children are included regardless of their age and ability. The ‘Come and See’ programme supports and enables the faith experience of all children because it starts with their real life experience and leads them to reflect upon and consider the Christian message in all its richness in that experience.
Religious Education in all Catholic schools must be taught for 10% of the timetable, as set out in guidance from the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales. In EYFS and Key Stage 1 this equates to 2hours and 10minutes per week and increases to 2 hours and 30 minutes in Key Stage 2.

All policies relating to R.E, Collective Worship, Spiritual and Moral Development, as well as Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) can be found under the Catholic Life section of the website.

A note from our Subject Lead...
I have been the RE Lead Teacher here at St. Anne's since 2006. I have a deep passion to provide exciting, meaningful and spiritual experiences for our pupils, allowing them to develop their own identity, no matter what their own faith and background is.
As a Catholic School, we are regularly inspected for our standards and provision of Catholic education. In our past 3 Section 48 inspections we have been graded as 'Outstanding' in the Catholic education that we provide for our pupils, the most recent of these full inspections being in 2015. Our most recent inspection monitoring visit was September 2018.
