Intent

In Religious Education (RE), pupils enter into a rich discourse about the religious traditions that have shaped Great Britain and the world. RE enables pupils to take their place within a diverse multi-religious and multi-secular society. It is intellectually challenging and personally enriching. It affords pupils the opportunity to see the religion, and non-religion, in the world, and the opportunity to make sense of their own place in the world.

Implementation

RE is taught as a discrete subject throughout KS1 and KS2. EYFS follow their own curriculum guidance where RE is incorporated throughout their learning. As a VA CofE Primary, we use the RE Today scheme to fulfil the diocese requirements

 Aims

• Our broad aim for RE is to teach children about the Bible and the teaching and practices of Christianity.
•  To aid children in their spiritual journey and to develop their own beliefs and values.
•  To prepare children for life in a mixed society by introducing them to the religious experience of people with other faiths.
• To aid children on their spiritual journey in the discovery of things that matter.
