Right to withdraw children from Religious Education

At Frogmore Infant School, we respect and value the diverse beliefs of all our families. We aim to provide a nurturing environment where every child can explore and understand a broad range of spiritual and cultural perspectives. 

Under the Education Act 1996, parents/carers have the legal right to withdraw their child from all or part of our Religious Education (RE) curriculum and collective worship if they wish. If you are considering this, please do speak to our Headteacher. We are able to share all our planning and discuss any concerns or questions you may have. 

If you choose to withdraw your child from RE lessons or collective worship, please inform our Headteacher in writing. We ask that you specify whether you wish to withdraw your child from all RE lessons, certain parts of the curriculum and/or collective worship. 

Children withdrawn from RE and collective worship will be supervised by school staff. 

Please do come and speak to us if you wish to explore how we can support your child's learning and spiritual development within your family's beliefs or any aspects of our RE provision.
