The 1988 Education Act states that 'Religious Education has equal standing in relation to core subjects of the National Curriculum in that it is compulsory for all registered pupils'. Morven Park Primary delivers RE in line with the Nottinghamshire Agreed Syllabus. 

Religious education provokes challenging questions about the ultimate meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about God, the self and the nature of reality, issues of right and wrong and what it means to be human. 

The Nottinghamshire Agreed Syllabus was overhauled in January 2015. Morven Park purchased a bespoke curriculum package which meets the criteria of the Agree Syllabus and this has been followed since September 2015.

In Religious Education at Morven Park Primary School we aim that pupils might:

• Develop a knowledge and understanding of Christianity and its impact on our local community, and on our society today
• Develop a knowledge and understanding of some of the other principal religious traditions represented in Great Britain today
• Develop a sense of respect for religious traditions, beliefs and practice
• Grow in their spiritual development
• Develop skills and attitudes which will support their personal, moral, social and cultural development
• Explore some questions of meaning and consider how the world's religions have responded to them
• Think about own beliefs and values in the light of the beliefs of others, both religious and non-religious, and the values of the school community
