Religious Education

At St Clare’s, we strive to live our our Mission Statement, "I have come that they may have life and have it to the full."  John 10:10. 

Our school exists to enable all children and adults to grow towards Christian maturity based on the life and teachings of Jesus as revealed in the Gospels and in the Traditions and Doctrines of the Catholic Church. “Go ye therefore teach all Nations.” Matthew 28-29

The Catholic Education Service (www.catholiceducationservice.org.uk) states the following:

“Whatever their status... Catholic Schools and Colleges are established to support Catholic parents in their responsibility for the academic, physical, spiritual, moral and religious education of their children in accordance with the teachings of the Church. Catholic Education endeavours to make the person of Jesus Christ known and loved, and to place Him and the teachings of the Catholic Church at the centre of the educational enterprise. In ‘placing Christ at the Centre’,1 Catholic education seeks to invite all into a life of discipleship within the Body of the Church.”

Other Faiths:

As part of our RE curriculum, we have been learning about another faith, Judaism. We have been learning about Judaism for a week; in our lessons and through a guest speaker, Nigel Grizzard. We have learned that we have lots of beliefs in common, but we do have some differences in our faith and how we practise it. Look at our photos and the display in school to find out more!
