Tolerance of Those of Different Faiths and Beliefs

At St Thomas’, we provide pupils with opportunities to experience diversity within our school community and the wider community.

Our Religious Education curriculum follows the teaching of the Church in providing a broad and balanced education, which includes an understanding of and respect for people of other faiths or none and other religions, cultures and lifestyle.

• Each year cultural events are planned and texts are linked throughout the curriculum
• Pupils are introduced to other faiths and particularly look in detail at Judaism and Islam
• We teach religious stories where Jesus encouraged tolerance such as The Good Samaritan and The Women at the Well

Other faiths: Islam

Other faiths:  Judaism
