RE

Understanding the world and our place in it

RE

Overview

Our RE curriculum is designed around the needs of our local community, helping children develop the skills to understand and celebrate diverse religious and human experiences. Grounded in our values of diversity and inclusion, it explores Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism and non-religious worldviews. Children investigate key questions, develop positive attitudes and connect learning to their own lives.

How we teach

RE is taught in weekly lessons, supported by assemblies and enrichment activities. Learning is enquiry-based, encouraging children to ask questions and explore what different religions believe and value. Lessons include discussion, art, drama, craft and presentations. Visits to places of worship and welcoming visitors into school bring learning to life and build genuine curiosity and respect.
