Religious Studies


The curriculum for RE aims to ensure that all pupils:

  3. Gain and deploy the skills needed to engage seriously with religions and world views

Throughout the school, the overall ethos and focus is on Christianity. The other five major world faiths of Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism and Judaism are also studied. The study of Humanism was introduced in Lent 2017.

We use a variety of active teaching and learning strategies in RE. For the very young this respects their natural ways of learning through sense experience, exploration, conversation and play. Older children investigate, discuss, evaluate and explore through a variety of active learning strategies such as drama, role play, freeze frames, interpretation of posters, pictures, artefacts, use of computing, video, display and participation in visits and talking with visitors.
