R.E.

Our Religious Education curriculum is designed with the following aims in mind:

Intent

• We want our children to understand and respect different religions and to be tolerant of those with different faiths and of those with none.

• RE will enable pupils to explore meaning and purpose in their lives.

• RE aims to help pupils develop the ability to make reasoned and informed judgements about the religions and moral issues which arise from reflection on human experience and a study of religious belief and practice.

Implementation

• We use the using North Yorkshire SACRE recommended planning to deliver RE lessons at our school.

• We have carefully mapped our R.E curriculum, so that children’s knowledge, skills and subject specific vocabulary are built sequentially over time.

• Lessons will be taught through questioning, experiences, hot seating (people of faith), visits (places of worship) and exploring artefacts, stories and images.

Impact

• To have a better understanding of what they and others believe in and accept that they may differ.
