Right for Parents to Withdraw their Children from RE & Collective Worship

In England and Wales parents have the right to withdraw their children from RE lessons and acts of Collective Worship in schools. As parents you are not obliged to give a reason for requesting the withdrawal.

However, before exercising any right of withdrawal, we would recommend you discuss your concerns with the class teacher or Head of School.

Should a pupil be withdrawn from those learning activities/lessons, they will be directed to supplementary topic lessons instead.

Requests for withdrawals are made in writing via the school office
