Religion and belief

Ealing SACRE has produced guidance for schools intended to ensure an approach to the statutory daily reflection that is inclusive of all religions and beliefs.

The new agreed syllabus for religious education considers religious and non-religious stances to be responses to common human experiences. These two documents, and other guidance, can be found on the RE curriculum pages.
