Religious & Moral Education

Read the information below to find out how our school embraces 'Curriculum for Excellence' through 'Religious & Moral Education'.

Religious and Moral Education

The children at Gordon Primary progress through the Curriculum for Excellence Religious and Moral Education experiences and outcomes in order to:


  • Develop their spiritual, social, moral and cultural values;

  • Develop a knowledge and understanding of Christianity and other world religions;

  • Appreciate moral values such as honesty, respect, fairness and concern for others

  • Investigate and understand the questions and answers that religions can offer about the nature and meaning of life

  • Develop their own beliefs, attitudes, moral values and practices through a process of personal search, discovery and critical evaluation.

We encourage children to become aware of the wide range of religious interpretations and their importance to believers.

Parents have the right to withdraw their child from Religious Education lessons and Observance and should contact the school if they so wish.

Parents from ethnic minority religious communities may request that their children be permitted to be absent from school in order to celebrate recognised religious events. Only written requests detailing the proposed arrangements will be considered. Appropriate requests will be granted for up to three occasions in any one school session and the pupil noted as an authorised absentee in the register.

The school has a very positive relationship with the local church and Minister, Tom Nicholson.  Services are held in the church throughout the year as part of our religious observance.
