At Highfield Hall we use Derbyshire Agreed Syllabus to support our RE teaching, this is supplemented with Discovery RE. Using the Derbyshire Agreed Syllabus guarantees we enable pupils to participate in an on-going search for wisdom, through exploring questions raised by human experience and answers offered by the religions and beliefs of the people of Derbyshire and the wider community, so as to promote their personal development.
