Religious Education

Through our Religious Education curriculum, pupils are encouraged to reflect on what it means to have a faith and to develop their own spiritual knowledge of Christianity. We help the children learn from all religions, as well as about other religions.

They learn to:

Listen and respect all opinions.
Apply Christian values to their own lives.
Understand and learn about different religions and learn about similarities and differences between these religions.
Be able to consider increasingly deeper ‘big’ questions and think and reflect on their own spirituality.

This is achieved by following a clear and well-sequenced curriculum in Religious Education, which is comprised of the Emmanuel Project RE resources for all faiths and supplemented by Understanding Christianity resources to deepen children’s understanding of Christianity . The two resources work effectively alongside each other and offer a balanced RE curriculum, which is broadly two-thirds Christian-based.
