"RE and Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development:
• RE contributes to spiritual development through the consideration and discussion of examples of things spiritual in people's behaviour as expressed through their
religion. In RE there is specific opportunity for pupils to reflect on their own spirituality.
• RE contributes to moral development when it presents for consideration systems of moral guidance and ethical principles which are developed by or from religions.
• RE contributes to social development by showing pupils different religious communities and groupings locally, nationally and globally, and by giving opportunities to learn about the expression of their beliefs in some detail.
• RE contributes to cultural development when pupils see how a religion can create or influence the art, architecture, language, literature and music of its practitioners."
