At Mile Oak our learning of religion begins with a question which encourages the children to ‘Think Big!’
We stimulate pupils to ask and explore challenging questions about their own identities and beliefs while also gaining an understanding and respect of those who follow the religious beliefs and practices of one of the world views. We will continually encourage children to develop an awareness of themselves while learning to respect the values of others in the world around them.
