Learning through religious and moral education enables me to:

• recognise religion as an important expression of human experience

• learn about and from the beliefs, values, practices and traditions of Christianity and the world religions selected for study, other traditions and viewpoints independent of religious belief

• explore and develop knowledge and understanding of religions, recognising the place of Christianity in the Scottish context

• investigate and understand the responses which religious and non-religious views can offer to questions about the nature and meaning of life

• recognise and understand religious diversity and the importance of religion in society  

• develop respect for others and an understanding of beliefs and practices which are different from my own

• explore and establish values such as wisdom, justice, compassion and integrity and engage in the development of and reflection upon my own moral values

• develop my beliefs, attitudes, values and practices through reflection, discovery and critical evaluation  

• develop the skills of reflection, discernment, critical thinking and deciding how to act when making moral decisions

• make a positive difference to the world by putting my beliefs and values into action

• establish a firm foundation for lifelong learning, further learning and adult life.
