Excellent link to give, just reading it in your post without following
it gives a great clue.

More clue of course once followed...

Just setting you homework!

I agree a bit obscure. Surprisingly thorough for a primary school in
Kent - not in Brent, for instance.

You don't have young children then? Mine have all studied this subject
under their religious education in state junior schools over the past
decade. I live in Hampshire and believe this is just part of the
curriculum these days.

No, I don't. I am sure you are right. From personal knowledge this can
involve visiting places of worship of other religions.

In fact, I have briefly looked at the website of this particular primary
school and I think it is quite amazing in its coverage of the curriculum
generally.
