Statutory Framework for RE

The Statutory Framework for Religious Education (RE) in the UK provides guidelines for teaching RE in schools. It ensures that students learn about different religions and beliefs, fostering understanding and respect. The framework is part of the national curriculum, mandating schools to offer balanced education about major world religions and encourage critical thinking. It aims to promote students’ spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development while preparing them for life in a diverse society. Schools must adhere to local agreements that outline specific curriculum requirements and how RE should be delivered.
