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 2011

"The Religious Education Department works as a cohesive group which has a deep desire to do the best for their pupils."

"The sense of common purpose in the school stems from the clear vision of what a Catholic school should be."

"Pupils enjoy religious education lessons and take pride in their work...they think ethically and theologically and are open to listening to the beliefs of others."

"Pupils are encouraged to question, discuss and present arguments in the knowledge that their ideas will be accepted and supportively challenged."
