Humanities
Religious Education at The Orchard Centre is designed to provoke challenging questions about the ultimate meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about God, the self and the nature of reality, issues of right and wrong and what it means to be human.
​
It offers opportunities for personal reflection and spiritual development. It enhances students’ awareness and understanding of religions and beliefs, teachings, practices and forms of expression, as well as of the influence of religion on individuals, families, communities and cultures.
​
RE has an important role in preparing young people
for adult life, employment and lifelong learning.
It enables students to develop respect for
and sensitivity to others, in particular those
whose faiths and beliefs are different from their own.
It promotes discernment and enables students to combat prejudice.

Admissions & Charging
All of our admissions are via a referral process from Wolverhampton Schools and City of Wolverhampton Council.
​
Referrals are made to The Orchard Centre following consultation between professionals and parents in cases where the mainstream environment may not be currently suitable for the child. We will consider carefully and fairly all suitable referrals for every student in KS3 and KS4.
​
Once an agreement of funding has been received from the mainstream school, we will contact parents to arrange an initial meeting and tour of the Centre.
