Curriculum Equality Statement

At PACT we follow the National Curriculum 2014. The National Curriculum 2014 sets out in programmes of study on the basis of key stages, subject content for core and foundation subjects that will be taught to all pupils. We believe that through the teaching of the National Curriculum we promote the universal values of respect and tolerance especially for characteristics protected under the Equalities Act 2010. We are committed to ensuring that our pupils are prepared for life in modern Britain. There is no option for opt out for pupils within the legal requirement of the National Curriculum.

Parental Right to Withdraw from Religious Education

Religious Education (RE) is a statutory part of the school’s basic curriculum and is provided for all children in line with the locally agreed syllabus.

In accordance with Section 71(1) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, parents have the right to request that their child is wholly or partly excused from receiving Religious Education provided as part of the school’s basic curriculum. The school must comply with this request until it is withdrawn. Parents are not required to give a reason for making such a request.

Before making a decision, parents are encouraged to discuss the RE curriculum with the school to ensure they are fully informed of the content and educational aims.

Requests for withdrawal should be made in writing to the Headteacher, clearly indicating whether the request relates to all RE lessons or specific elements of the curriculum.

Where a child is withdrawn from RE, the school will ensure appropriate supervision. However, the school is not required to provide additional teaching or alternative curriculum provision.

It should be noted that withdrawal from RE does not extend to other areas of the curriculum where religion or belief may be referenced, including subjects such as history or PSHE.
