Religious Education Curriculum Statement

Intent

Through teaching Religious Education as a rigorous academic subject, we want to engage, inspire, challenge and encourage pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to answer challenging questions, explore different religious beliefs, values and traditions and develop an understanding of the numerous religious traditions, beliefs and practices that are followed in our multi-cultural society. We want them to know how religious education promotes discernment and enables pupils to combat prejudice, preparing them for adult life, employment and life-long learning. We want pupils, through personal reflection, to have a better understanding of themselves and where they fit in. Enquiry based learning enables children to ask questions and develop skills of independent research and critical thinking, in particular analysis and evaluation. We encourage respect for all, including those with differing religious beliefs and world views, both religious and non-religious,
