Throughout the Key Stages, Beliefs & Values makes an important contribution to the overall school curriculum. It develops students’ knowledge and understanding, not only of the beliefs that religious and non-religious people hold, but also exploring the practices and traditions that influence individuals, communities, societies, and culture.

Beliefs & Values at Honiton Community College follows the Devon and Torbay Agreed Syllabus and provokes challenging questions about the meaning and purpose in life, beliefs about God, issues of right and wrong and what it means to be human. It enables students to develop their ideas, values, and identities and to help them develop a constructive aptitude for dialogue so that they can participate positively in society. It helps to develop responsibility and respect for all aspects of diversity – social, cultural, and religious. The overarching concepts for Beliefs & Values at Honiton Community College are tied in with the school’s vision of empowering our pupils to develop their own solutions and shape their own futures so that each child will achieve his or her full potential both academically and socially.
