Religious Studies at Terrington Hall

Terrington Hall Preparatory School was founded as an Anglican school that maintains a close association with the village Church, All Saints. The majority of our pupils have an affiliation with the Church of England and throughout the school year significant events in the Christian calendar are celebrated. Nevertheless, THPS welcomes pupils from other Christian denominations and indeed faiths, as well as those of none. Religious Studies at Terrington therefore provides a balanced approach to all six of the major world religions and beliefs but reflects the fact that that the Religious traditions of the United Kingdom and the school are, in the main, Christian.
