Children may be withdrawn from R.E. lessons or collective worship at Parents'/Carers’ request, although we are unable to provide alternative lessons or worship. Withdrawal from R.E. will mean that pupils will not participate in a range of religious activities, such as Christmas celebrations or Mothering Sunday cards.
