--- title: "Religious Education" url: "https://alder-community-high-school.schudio.com/curriculum/r-e" school: "Alder Community High School" --- # Religion and Worldviews ### Religion and Worldviews At Alder Community High School, our vision for Religious Education (RE) is to engage, inspire, and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge to answer challenging questions. We encourage systematic enquiry into the significant human questions that religion and worldviews address. Our ambition is for students to develop a sound grasp of world religions and other worldviews, fostering empathy and respect for difference and diversity. *"The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different." Mahatma Gandhi* We aim for our students to not only understand various beliefs and teachings but also to apply this knowledge and understanding beyond school, fostering an attitude of kindness and tolerance. Our curriculum respects all aspects of diversity – social, cultural, and religious – preparing pupils well for life in modern Britain. We encourage students to ask deep questions about their own faiths and beliefs, as well as the opinions of others, especially regarding contemporary moral issues. Through exploring ultimate questions raised by human life, students will develop well-informed and reasoned personal responses. Teaching across the department is consistently outstanding, with a culture of high expectations to ensure all students succeed and fulfil their maximum potential. Parents and carers have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of the RE curriculum. Requests to do so must be in writing to the headteacher at the start of the academic year. **RE Curriculum at Alder** Y7 Religion and Worldviews Curriculum Overview 103 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/files/documents/RE_Y7_2026-27_Updated.pdf) Y8 Religion and Worldviews Curriculum Overview 110 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/files/documents/RE_Y8_2026-2027_Updated.pdf) Y9 Religion and Worldviews Curriculum Overview 96 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/files/documents/RE_Y9_2026-2027_Updated.pdf) Y10 Core RE Curriculum Overview 90 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/files/documents/RE_Y10_Core_RE_2026-2027_Updated.pdf) Y11 Core RE Curriculum Overview 89 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/files/documents/RE_Y11_Core_RE_2026-2027_Updated.pdf) Y10 GCSE RE Curriculum Overview 113 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/files/documents/RE_Y10_GCSE_RE_2026-2027_Updated.pdf) Y11 GCSE RE Curriculum Overview 100 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/files/documents/RE_Y11_GCSE_RE_2026-2027_Updated.pdf) ### RE Team - [![Rainbow Flag Award](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Untitled_design_(1).png)](https://www.rainbowflagaward.co.uk/) - ![AcSEED](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Untitled_design_(2).png) - ![CPOMS Student Safe](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Cpoms_student_safe.png) - ![CPOMS Staff Safe](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Cpoms_staff_safe.png) - [![ParentPay](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Untitled_design_(4).png)](https://www.parentpay.com/) ##### Location Mottram Old Road Gee Cross Hyde Greater Manchester SK14 5NJ ##### Contact Us 0161 368 5132 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/AlderCommunityHigh/) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPHzqAhyNS44u4g5Tk20eWA) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/alder-community-high-school) © Copyright 2018–2026 Alder Community High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://alder-community-high-school.schudio.com/img/logo/dark.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
