Head of Religious Education: Miss C Wilson (c.wilson@swr.gloucs.sch.uk)
Our intent:
To enrich the lives of our students by exploring religion and worldviews. We explore and discover what it means to be religious and how these views impact our lives. Students also get to explore philosophical ideas and grapple with unanswerable questions whilst learning about their place in our world.
The Big Picture
Students will leave SWR with extensive knowledge of a variety of religions and go into the world with open eyes. Students will get the opportunity to explore their place in the world and discover the importance of religious and worldviews in the world we inhabit.
