RE & Faith Days

We follow Leicester City's agreed syllabus for Religious Education.  It covers four key strands that enable West Gate to deliver a meaningful curriculum adapted for pupils across our different pathways.  Through the year we will have four Faith Days where pupils will experience a range of lessons covering an overall strand. In line with legal requirements, parents have a 'right to withdraw' their child from Religious Education. Please contact the school on 01162552187 and ask to speak to Harry Short or Tom Blockley if you wish to discuss this.
