Welcome to the Religious Education Department in
Llangatwg Community School. Our aims are to teach pupils about the
main world religious groups alongside moral and contemporary issues.
Throughout our subject we promote tolerance and compassion and
encourage our pupils to become mature and respectful citizens of
Britain and the world.
RE in Llangatwg does not seek to impose any particular religious
values or beliefs on the students but instead aims to study the
beliefs and values of others in order to better understand the
people and the world around them.
Religious Education is deemed to have a central role in the work of
the school in promoting the spiritual, moral, cultural and mental
development of our pupils in preparation for the opportunities,
responsibilities and experiences of their adult life. By it's very
nature Religious Education has much to contribute to the achievement
of these goals since its concern is to explore the religious
understanding of human life and the value systems, which societies
seek to establish.
In developing the spiritual and moral aspects of learning, Religious
Education makes a distinctive contribution to the curriculum and
addresses a range of concerns. Whilst one aspect of it relates to an
understanding of the beliefs, practices and values of religious
communities, the other is progressively concerned with self,
personal identity, relationships with others, responding to the
natural world and to global and ethical issues. |
