RE

Our Religious Education curriculum follows the Blackburn Diocese Questful RE syllabus 2017. “In Church of England schools the students and their families can expect a religious education curriculum that is rich and varied, enabling learners to acquire a thorough knowledge and understanding of the Christian faith. Church schools should provide a wide range of opportunities for learners to understand and to make links between the beliefs, practices and value systems of the range of faiths and world views studied.

Church schools should use some form of enquiry approach that engages with, for example biblical text, and helps develop religious and theological literacy. Links with the Christian values of the school and spiritual, moral, social and cultural development are intrinsic to the RE curriculum and should have a significant impact on learners.”

RE Statement of Entitlement:

The Church of England Education Office 2016 “Christianity should be the majority study in RE in every school. In Church schools that should be clearly adhered to. KS 1 – 3 at least 2/3rds of RE curriculum is to be Christianity. Sufficient dedicated curriculum time, meeting explicitly RE objectives, however organised, should be committed to the delivery of RE. This should aim to be close to 10% but must be no less than 5%.”

The aims of our curriculum is:

• To enable pupils to know about and understand Christianity as a living faith that influences the lives of people worldwide and as the religion that has most shaped British culture and heritage.

• To enable pupils to know and understand about other major world religions and world views, their impact on society, culture and the wider world, enabling pupils to express ideas and insights.

• To contribute to the development of pupils’ own spiritual/philosophical convictions, exploring and enriching their own beliefs and values.

 

It is also our Intent to:

● encourage pupils to make links between themselves and others and develop an understanding of cultures and different ways of life.

● teach children about their unique place within the home, school and community

● make connection between Biblical events and life on Earth over time and in today’s world.

● provide our pupils with an awareness of the world around them and for them to be mindful of the beliefs of others.

● provide a broad range of memorable learning experiences, within a vocabulary rich environment, to promote positive attitudes to life-long learning.

● enable every child to flourish through good quality R.E.

explore ways in which religious values and teaching have an impact on actions and decisions for people of faith

● allow pupils to experience, explore and encounter a wide range of creative and challenging activities that will help them discover the answers to key questions

● give the children opportunities to investigate, reflect and evaluate key questions

● prepare our children to live, flourish and work in a global and diverse community.

● develop sense of awe and wonder

● provide experiences of church and Christian traditions alongside how to respect and show understanding of people and traditions from other faith backgrounds.
