Click on the subject icon below to find our subject visions and how our subjects are taught at Shirley Junior School.

We aim to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in each subject and well as developments in general pedagogy; this means that we might change how we teach certain subjects when published research details a more effective approach.

Religious Education

Whilst teaching Religious Education is compulsory in schools, parents can ask to withdraw their children from all or some aspects of RE or Acts of Collective Worship. If pupils are withdrawn from RE, although schools have a duty to supervise them, they do not have to provide alternative or additional teaching.  A pupil may be required to work in another area of the school. Parents wanting to exercise this right should email the school office for the attention of the Senior Leadership Team
