What is Religious and World Views?

The modern world needs young people who are sufficiently confident in their own beliefs and values that they can respect the religious and cultural differences of others, and contribute to a cohesive and compassionate society.’

Michael Gove

Religious and Worldviews are the interpretive frameworks that form the foundations of people’s lives. Religious and Worldview Education is a discipline dedicated to explaining the beliefs and practises of people throughout the world. It seeks to help pupils understand their own beliefs and values and foster empathy and compassion towards others.  When investigating, their thinking is developed through disciplinary concepts that encourage them to think as a theologian. These concepts form a unique framework of enquiry and shape the questions that theologians investigate.
