RE alongside the National Curriculum
The National Curriculum states the legal requirement that: “Every state-funded school must offer a curriculum which is balanced and broadly based, and which: Promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society, and: Prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.” And: “All state schools... must teach religious education to pupils at every key stage... All schools must publish their curriculum by subject and academic year online.” (DfE National Curriculum Framework, July 2013, page 4)
