RE

At Chase Terrace Academy we aspire for all of our pupils to achieve greater things than they ever thought possible. 

We pride ourselves on being a warm and welcoming school that places community at the heart of everything we do. Our ambitious curriculum is enriching and inclusive, providing challenge and breadth for all. This empowers our pupils to become compassionate, confident and creative individuals who are resilient, respectful and equipped with a desire to take up a fulfilling role in society and the wider world.

In Religious Education, we aspire to provide outstanding lessons, which explore a multitude of religious lifestyles and investigate ethical debates, alongside philosophical questions relevant in the community and the wider world. Through a challenging and aspirational curriculum, we encourage tenacity in our pupils and teach the skills to allow pupils to confidently articulate their own beliefs. All pupils will be valued and respected. In the RE department we encourage an open minded and inquisitive response to difference, which helps foster understanding and empathy in all, preparing pupils for their role in our multi-cultural world.
