Religious Education
It is recognised at St Gerard’s School that Religious Education is central to all we do. Faith is caught as well as taught and pupils are helped to develop an understanding of Catholic values and doctrines and they are encouraged to participate in the life of the Parish.
We follow the “Come and See” programme of Religious Education from F2 to Year 6. Click here to visit the 'Come and See' website.
The children are taught to value and respect other religious beliefs through in-depth study of other world faiths. We aim to teach children about loving human relationships developmentally alongside the Science curriculum, and within a framework of Religious Education.
Faith in Action
The children took an active role in the Advent Liturgy in school. Families and parishioners were encouraged to join us celebrate this wonderful time of year.
Our Anti –bullying officers, Mr Robinson and Mrs Angel, work with each class during anti-bullying week to raise awareness and educate the children on how to spot or deal with various types of bullying.
Money raised from our Enterprise Christmas Fayre, is used to buy World Gifts from Cafod.
The children are told the amount they can spend, and then select which gifts they would like to buy for others and explain their choices.
Epiphany service, joining with other Catholic Primary schools.
Following our whole school assembly all about Mission Together, the children took home money boxes to fill with donations.
Our Key Stage One children performing their Nativity.
Each year, during Advent, our older children visit the local nursing home and perform carols for the residents and staff. It is always greatly appreciated and the children love to see the big smiles they bring to people!
Our annual Grandparent’s Party. The children serve refreshments and provide festive entertainment.
