Religious Education

At Lammack, we are very proud of our large multicultural and multi-faith school. We offer ALL our children and parents a warm welcoming atmosphere, regardless of culture or belief. We aim to prepare our children for living in the 21st Century by developing skills and knowledge that will enable them to play their future part in a fast moving, challenging exciting, multi-cultural and multi-faith Britain. We aim to achieve these goals through several subjects such as religious and personal & social education, but even more importantly through the experience of learning side by side in a respectful, tolerant school community.

In Religious Education, we follow the Lancashire Agreed Syllabus, which is broadly Christian and includes topics on the other major world faiths -Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Hinduism. Please note - we are not a faith school and as such do not educate for one faith only.

We also deliver a structured programme for multicultural education. We aim to celebrate diversity through the various major religious festivals, customs and traditions across the world. This year in particular, we have been awarded a bursary enabling us to celebrate a wide variety of religious festivals through cross-curricular links such as art, storytelling and dance. We mark Christmas with carols, nativity plays, parties and presents. During the month of Ramadan we invite all children to consider the hunger of the world and we have learnt about Eid through Islamic art. The children are given the opportunity to learn about other faiths through first hand experiences for example visits to places of worship. We also welcome to our school ministers of different faiths to talk to the children at assemblies. Bicknell Street Mosque welcome our staff and governors each year to look at the work of the Madrasahs.
