RE
"Working together to be our best"
Intent
As a Federation, we have designed our RE curriculum around three key aims of study which are:
Making sense of beliefs,
Making connections
Understanding the impact.
Within these aims we build in the required coverage of religions and world views, which also includes non-religious views.
We want our children:
to know that R.E stands for Religious Education.
to be able to hold informed conversations about belief and the world in which we live.
to develop a broad and balanced understanding of religions and worldviews and develop critical thinking skills.
Implementation
We have a two-year rolling programme for RE which sets out our curriculum coverage of skills and knowledge. We use a combination of the Locally Agreed Syllabus and Understanding Christianity as the material for teaching R.E.
Impact
- We check children’s learning by asking key questions and by using regular quizzes at the beginning and end of lessons.
- We ask pupils to record their thinking as pupil voice activities.
- We use knowledge organisers to help children to remember what they have learnt.
- Our pupils are able to hold informed conversations about belief and world religions.
We feel that RE is a vital part of our curriculum. When we know and understand one another and our own and others' belief systems we can truly 'work together to be our best'. However, it is the right of all parents to withdraw their child from all or part of the RE curriculum. If this is something you wish to discuss, please contact Mrs. Kitchen or Mrs. Wagstaff.
