Religion and Ethics

At our school, students can take part in special religious education (SRE) or special education in ethics (SEE) classes, depending on what’s available. These classes are delivered by approved providers.

When enrolling your child, you’ll be able to choose an option from the approved providers offered at our school. Students not attending SRE or SEE are given supervised alternative meaningful activities.

In 2026 Sefton High School will be running Special Religious Education (SRE) once a week. Approved providers will offer programs in Islam, Catholic and Christian education. Links to the providers who are delivering programs are below.
