The Religious Education curriculum at Dedworth Middle School allows all pupils to experience other religions, both within discrete topics and broader themes. Providing pupils with different ways of learning allows pupils to understand more about specific religions and make the comparisons required to move up to a higher level.

In Year 5, pupils spend the first two terms gaining a basic understanding about each of the major religions. The rest of Year 5 is focused mainly on Christianity and Judaism, giving pupils a solid understanding and allowing comparisons to be made with other religions in later years.

In Year 6, pupils study specific religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, and broader topics such as Festivals and Pilgrimage.

In Year 7, all topics allow comparison of religious practices and beliefs; these themes include Sacred Texts, Creation Stories and Religious Art.

In Year 8, pupils look at Islam and Sikhism, and broader topics such as Rites of Passage.
