The aims of the R.M.P.S. Department are:

To provide a positive learning and teaching environment for all pupils and staff.
For all pupils to feel comfortable and valued by staff.
To provide opportunities for personal, active, co-operative and reflective learning.
Together, we aim to broaden and deepen our knowledge and understanding of religious and cultural diversity.
