Religious Education

As a Church of England School, we have close links with Hutton St Mary’s Parish Church.  Services are held in St Mary’s Church each term and the Rector takes a regular service in school.  Religious Education at Hutton CE Primary School

 

St Mary’s Church is used as a valuable resource for teaching different aspects of RE throughout the school.  RE is a core subject, and the school follows the Awareness, Mystery and Value syllabus as provided by the North Somerset Local Education Authority and the Diocese of Bath and Wells. This covers both the implicit and explicit areas of RE. 

 

Whilst focusing on Christianity, the children also learn aspects of Judaism, Hinduism and Islam.

 

Collective Worship

We hold a daily act of collective worship and encourage children to take part. 

 

We meet as a whole school three times a week, and on other occasions in key stages.

 

Parents have a right to withdraw their child from the school’s daily act of collective Worship, or from Religious Education.  Any parent wishing to withdraw a child from these elements of the curriculum should make a written request through the Headteacher. 

 

The School Prayer

This is our school,

Let peace dwell here,

Let the rooms be full of contentment,

Let love abide here.

Love of one another,

Love of mankind,

Love of life itself,

And love of God,

Let us remember as many hands build a house,

So many hearts make a school.
