Modern World, RE

At Discovery Academy, Modern World encompasses both Religious Education, local and national communities. Within Modern World, all of our pupils learn from and about religions, other cultures and languages to understand the world around them, fostering the pupil’s curiosity about their place in the world. Modern World lessons should be assessed in other areas of the curriculum, focusing on communication.
