Religious and Moral Education

Graphic to represent religious and moral education

The guidelines for Religious and Moral Education (RME) in non-denominational schools, published in November 1992, provide schools with guidance relating to the following aspects of RME: the rationale; the attainment outcomes and targets; the programmes of study; catering for the needs of individual pupils; and assessment and recording. The presentation of RME is structured under the headings: Christianity, Other World Religions and Personal Search. The attainment outcomes, knowledge and understanding, and skills and attitudes are in relation to and are consistent with the headings above.
