Religious Education

 

At Thornhill, we follow the agreed syllabus approved by the Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education (SACRE) 2022-2026. It provides a coherent framework for setting high standards of learning in RE, and enabling pupils to reach their potential in the subject. The syllabus is a local, professional, legal and up to date way of delivering all pupils’ RE entitlements.
