Aim & general requirements
"The aims of religious education are to enable pupils:
• to acquire knowledge and understanding of religion,particularly as expressed in Christianity and the other principal religions represented in Great Britain;
• to develop the ability to explore, to reflect on and to respond to human experience, drawing on their study of religion."
General requirements of teaching the Agreed Syllabus:
"The Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education defines through its programmes of study what is to be taught at each stage in those schools using the syllabus.
It is not the function of an agreed syllabus to determine how a school should organise the teaching of the subject matter.
Schools will, therefore, need to produce their own schemes of work to ensure that the statutory material is covered in a way appropriate to their own pupils."
