Intent

We believe that Religious Studies at Canon Slade School enables every child to flourish and to live ‘life in all its fullness’. (John 10:10). It helps to educate for dignity and respect, encouraging all to live well together.

Our curriculum ensures pupils flourish through the provision of high quality religious education reflecting the Manchester Diocese Church of England Statement of Entitlement.

We teach a full curriculum that prepares pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life in modern Britain. 

It guarantees that there is a breadth and depth of learning that builds up knowledge sequentially in a coherent and sensible way, leading to better long term retention. We aim to develop student’s analytical and critical thinking skills to enable them to present a wide range of well-informed and reasonable arguments across a wide range of topics.
