Instead of RE, Educate Together schools teach the Learn Together ethical education curriculum.

National Secular Society say:-

"The Irish-based educational charity Educate Together has announced it is to set up an Academy Trust to run a new primary school to be opened in Bristol in September 2014.

In place of traditional religion education, Educate Together schools teach the Learn Together ethical education curriculum. The curriculum focuses on questions of equality, justice, sustainability and active citizenship. The subject aims to "develop in children a critical knowledge, understanding and awareness of the teachings of religious and non-theistic belief systems and how these systems relate to our shared human experience."
