In the UK, parents and guardians have the right to withdraw their children from Religious Education (RE) classes if they wish. This means that, while RE is a compulsory subject in most schools, parents can choose to remove their child from all or part of the lessons, based on their personal beliefs. If a parent decides to exercise this right, they should speak with the school to discuss the process and explore alternative activities for their child during RE lessons. Schools will always aim to support families in making the best choices for their child's education while respecting their values and beliefs.
