Religious and Moral Education
 
The Nature of RME
Religious and Moral Education is very different from the faith-based approach of the past. Students learn about religious and moral issues, not to BE religious.
 
We consider a variety of religious and non-religious beliefs and actions in order to help young people to understand how and why members of our society carry out rituals and practices in their everyday lives.
