Religious Education

There is a long-established bond between the School and Immanuel Church in Oswaldtwistle. The Vicar (Barbara Hunter) and Parish Assistant (Paul Hunter) take our worship on a regular basis. Our worship, on planned themes, offers a rich and varied diet of collective worship and reflective thought. Children are also taught about other world religions to help them understand different communities, draw comparisons and come to terms with the diverse world in which they live.

Parents have the right to withdraw their children from RE and worship but we would urge them to allow their children to take part. If you are uncertain about your child’s involvement in RE or worship please speak to the Headteacher.

Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education (PSHCE)

The school places great importance on the development of each pupil through pastoral care and through a structured programme of study into personal relationships which includes many aspects of personal growth.  PSHCE enables our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. It aims to help them understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.  This is our learning star to remind children how they can remember what they are learning
