Religious Education
The aim of our broad and rich RE curriculum is to ensure children understand the relevance of RE in today’s modern world and how it affects our lives. Lessons provide a high quality, coherent and progressive experience of the subject, with scope for cross-curricular learning.
Through each unit, children will know about and understand a range of religions and world views. They will be able to identify, investigate and respond to a variety of issues. Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural development (SMSC), personal growth and community cohesion are featured throughout each non-statutory strand and are there to ensure multiple opportunities for children to develop positive attitudes and values and to reflect on and relate their learning in RE to their own experiences.
In KS1, children begin to look at religions, focusing on celebrations and rituals. In KS2, we offer a wider range of learning opportunities about the world’s religions including deeper understanding of the origin of those religions and their key stories and teachings. They also begin to compare and contrast religions making high order links.
