Withdrawal from RE
We acknowledge the right of parents/carers to withdraw their child from RE lessons. We understand that parents/carers do not need to provide a reason why they wish to withdraw their child from the subject. Should a parent/carer wish to withdraw their child from RE lessons, we request that written notice be sent to the Headteacher.
Where a parent/carer requests that their child be withdrawn from RE, we will endeavour to communicate clearly the place of RE within a broad and balanced curriculum to ensure that parents/carers are in possession of all the necessary information before confirming their decision. However, we will not attempt to persuade them to alter their decision. If a pupil is withdrawn from RE lessons, the school is required to provide supervision, but should not incur any additional cost in so doing.
Any queries regarding withdrawal from RE should be directed to Mrs Kaynes, Head of School.
