​​​Our local and school community does not enjoy a rich diversity of faiths, so it is vitally important that we offer our children opportunities to wonder about, question and explore a range of faiths in a positive and curious way.

​

We do this by gradually introducing our children to the beliefs and practices of Christianity, Islam and Non-Religious World Views in KS1 before looking at these alongside Judaism and Sikhism in KS2 in readiness for Buddhism and Hinduism at KS3.

 

The RE curriculum is designed around six learning pathways. These have been developed from ‘Big Ideas’ and act as the framework for sequencing learning in religion and worldviews at all key stages from  age 5 to 18.  While organising the curriculum along these pathways, our children concurrently develop substantive knowledge of specific religions/worldviews. 

 

As a result, our RE curriculum will:

- achieve a broad, but rigorous, understanding of religions/worldviews in the context of our local communities and our country;

- provide for deeper focused study of specific topics and questions.
