Pupils have the opportunity to explore and reflect on religious ideas and moral issues throughout their time at the school. An important feature of the RE programme is the schedule of regular opportunities to visit places of worship, to hear and meet visiting speakers from religious groups and charities and to see religious art or film and theatre productions.

The Religious Education syllabus is based on the new Warwickshire Local Education Authority Syllabus. Of the six world religions that are studied, Christianity is the primary focus. A G.C.S.E. short course in Religious Education is now well established in Year 10 and 11.

It is hoped that pupils will continue to cultivate attitudes of sensitivity to, and appreciation of, different points of view. This subject should help them to develop tolerance for other people's ideas, values and customs and should help them to appreciate the importance of discussion in focusing and developing their own values and beliefs.

Alcester High School regards Religious Education as a continuous process extending beyond the years of schooling.
