Parents’ Right to Withdraw from Religious Education

Religious Education (RE) is a statutory part of the curriculum at St Mark’s Catholic School and is taught in accordance with the requirements of the Catholic Church and the Diocese of Westminster.

Parents and carers have a statutory right to request that their child is withdrawn from all or part of Religious Education. They do not have to provide a reason for this request.

As RE is core to the identity and daily life of our school, we encourage any parent considering withdrawal to contact the school office to arrange a discussion with the Headteacher. This allows us to fully outline the aims, content, and educational objectives of the RE curriculum so that parents can make a fully informed decision.
