Religious Education
Religious education in Wirral is taught in community, foundation and voluntary-controlled schools according to an agreed syllabus.
This syllabus is produced by the Wirral Standing Advisory Committee on Religious Education. You can get a copy from schools or direct from us. Religious education at voluntary-aided schools is the responsibility of the governing body and will be taught according to the school’s trust deed.
Note: The Wirral Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education is currently
under review. By December 2006 the revised Wirral Agreed Syllabus, taking into
account the 'National Framework for Religious Education' will be published on
this website!
It involves very little change for primary schools. It suggests ways in which
Secondary Schools in Wirral may wish to modify their RE schemes of work and
bring them into line with the Revised Wirral Agreed Syllabus for RE. This is
not a statutory requirement at present. Further guidance will be provided
before the end of the Autumn Term 2006.
