RE Progression Document
Right to withdraw
Parents and careers have the right to withdraw their child from religious education and collective worship and the school must grant this request. Withdrawal does not require a reason from the parent and the school is not responsible for providing alternative provision or extra work. However, the school must supervise the children during the time they are not participating in religious education.
Parents are encouraged to discuss their concerns at the school and seek a meeting with a member of the Senior Leadership Team to discuss the practical implications of withdrawal.
