Religious Knowledge (RE)
As a Church of England faith school, we aim to fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum and beyond by providing a broad, balanced and exciting RE curriculum which is inclusive to all children and enables children to respect and explore a diverse range of beliefs. We aim to engage pupils in enquiring into and exploring questions arising from the study of religion and belief, so as to promote their personal, spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. We aim for children to develop their understanding and respect of the ways in which beliefs influence people in their behaviour, practices and outlook. A systematic approach to the development of RE skills means that children are given opportunities to express their ideas in a considered way. We are eager for all children to understand the context of RE as well as the religion that they are learning about and be inspired by a range of diverse beliefs. We anticipate that the children will be curious and engaged and to be inquisitive to follow a line of enquiry to reach answers, and to recall and present their learning in ever thoughtful ways.
