While it is compulsory for all maintained schools to provide Religious Education, it is not part of the National Curriculum. It is required to be taught in accordance with an Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education that is determined by the local authority.

Please see below for the Staffordshire Agreed Syllabus 2016 and the Statement of Entitlement 2019.

As a Church of England school, we also follow the guidance from Lichfield Diocese, who fully endorses ‘Understanding Christianity’ as a means of delivering Christianity. Therefore, at Berkswich CE, we use the Staffordshire Agreed Syllabus and the resources from the diocese to enhance teaching and learning.
