Curriculum Intent
Our RE Curriculum has been developed through a careful look at our surrounding areas to support our children, to give them the skills to celebrate the diversity of religious and human experiences. When designing our curriculum, we wanted it to reflect the needs of our locality, building their skillset to face challenges and choices with confidence.
Keeping in mind the school values such as Diversity and inclusion which remain at the heart of our curriculum; through explicit teaching in lesson time as well as through assemblies.
Our RE lessons are intended to offer a broad and rich RE curriculum to allow for coverage of the areas prescribed; to allow for a variety of ways to explore religions, their community and personal development and wellbeing. The lessons have an intention of providing a high quality, coherent and progressive experience of the subject, with scope for cross-curricular learning. Through each unit, children will know about and understand a range of religions and world views. They will be able to identify, investigate and respond to a variety of issues. SMSC, personal growth and community cohesion are featured throughout each non-statutory strand and are there to ensure opportunities for children to develop positive attitudes and values and to reflect on and relate their learning in RE to their own experiences. The intent is to make sure that children understand the relevance of RE in today’s modern world and how it affects our lives.
Our Offer
The RE curriculum is delivered through dedicated lesson time in RE taught by the class teacher (60 minutes in KS1 and 45 minutes in KS2 per week), this is combined with assemblies and additional enrichment opportunities. We teach RE to encourage pupils to learn about the different religions represented in Great Britain, their beliefs, teachings and values, reflect on challenging questions about the meaning and purpose of life.
RE is not part of the National Curriculum. Instead, it is locally decided on by a Standard Advisory Council for RE (SACRE) as a component of the basic curriculum. It is taught alongside the National Curriculum in all maintained in our school.
The RE curriculum provides children to have a better understanding of the religions that make up the UK landscape and how they can learn from and work alongside each other to create community cohesion. All children will be more informed about their position in the world, and the decisions they can make impacting their future. Children in our school will be able to talk confidently about their wellbeing, moral and cultural development for the society in which they live. The RE curriculum promotes inquisitive minds, respect, tolerance and understanding for all those around them including themselves. Our lessons enable high quality work to be produced and evidenced, showcasing a deep understanding of the main religions of the world, their community and their future. This evidence will be seen through using the correct vocabulary, explanations and respectful opinions, as well as cross-curricular evidence, for example religious and cultural art work, drama, craft and presentations. Impact will be seen by our teachers and children enjoying the experience of teaching and learning RE and understanding how it can help them in their future.
