RE at St John Fisher

Religious Education is at the centre of all we do at St John Fisher. It can be seen throughout our school, not just in our RE lessons, but through Collective Worship, our links with our local parish and our behaviour towards one another. Religious Education guides every area of our school life and shapes the values, attitudes, and actions of our whole community.

The aim of Religious Education at St John Fisher is to help pupils grow and nurture a deep knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith, of God’s revelation through Scripture, Tradition, and the life of the Church.

We aim to deepen children’s personal relationship with God through prayer, reflection, and participation in liturgy and the Sacraments.

We aim to support spiritual and moral growth, enabling pupils to make thoughtful choices inspired by the teachings of Jesus, living out the Gospel values of love, respect, and service in their daily lives.

We encourage pupils to live their faith in action, promoting justice, compassion, and stewardship of God’s creation. Children are guided to understand their emotions and to respond to others with kindness and forgiveness, following the example that God and Jesus set for us.

At St John Fisher, Religious Education aims to form children who are faith-filled, reflective, and resilient learners, equipped to succeed in education and adult life, and ready to make a positive contribution to society for the common good.
