Religious Education seeks to promote the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils at Beaufort. The R.E. department follows the guidelines established in the County's Agreed Syllabus which has two attainment targets: learning about religion (such as the key teachings of Christianity, Buddhism and Sikhism) and learning from religion (when pupils respond to these teachings by deciding what their own opinions are and why). The topics covered at Key Stage 3 are as follows:
