Religious Education

At Oakworth Primary School, we help children explore life’s big questions—about beliefs, values, and what it means to be part of a diverse world—in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment.

With limited opportunities for wider cultural experiences in the local area, we place great importance on providing rich discussions and meaningful learning that promote empathy, understanding, and resilience.

Children learn about a wide range of religions and worldviews—locally, nationally, and globally—encouraging respectful dialogue, curiosity, and critical thinking. This learning is woven through our curriculum and daily school life, including assemblies, classroom activities, and thoughtful conversations.

We also work closely with local community members and faith representatives to bring learning to life, helping our pupils grow into kind, reflective, and respectful individuals who are ready to thrive in a diverse and ever-changing world.
