Religious Education

At Nicholas Breakspear School, we believe that Religious Education is an integral part of each child's moral, spiritual and social development.

As Catholics we believe in the redeeming power of Jesus' life, death and resurrection. Our school motto is 'Per Tuas Semitas', which means, 'In Thy Ways'. This means that everything we think and do will reflect and follow the ways of Christ.

'Through Christ we learn, through Christ we live.'

Comments from the Section 48 Diocesan Report

"The number of Religious Education GCSE grades A* - C has continued to rise and is now above the national average."

"External assessment indicates that standards at GCE AS and A Level are above the national average."

"The department organises a range of extra-curricular activities including retreats and significant liturgical celebrations in the life of the school."

"All pupils are aware of the importance of the subject in the life of the school and many are activelyinvolved in those aspects that take place outside the classroom."

The Religious Education department is made up of seven dedicated teachers.
