“Are we human beings having a spiritual experience, or spiritual beings having a human experience?” Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Religious Education at Hendon School aims to teach students about diverse lifestyles and world views. We encourage students to develop their own ideas; to speak and write articulately about their own backgrounds and experiences and to take ownership of their ideas and perspective as they mature into engaged citizens.
Our department adopts a multi-faith, non-denominational approach to RE in which students learn about the major World faiths, including Christianity and Islam (which are studied in more depth in the GCSE course.)
Students have 2 lessons over 2 weeks.
