Our intent 

In our school our Christian vision shapes all we do.  

“Aspire to be your best self by Living, learning, growing together in God's love”

‘Religious education in a Church school should enable every child to flourish and to live life in all its fullness. (John 10:10).  It will help educate for dignity and respect encouraging all to live life well together.’                                           RE Statement of Entitlement from the Church of England Education Office Feb 2019

Our Christian values are embedded throughout our curriculum and provision. 

Forgiveness, Courage, Cooperation, Honesty, Courage, Kindness 

Implementation

We teach RE every week in specific lessons which are planned using Understanding Christianity syllabus. We teach mainly Christianity but ensure that we teach a range of other religions. We follow a 2 year cycle in both Key Stage One and Two.  

There are 8 Christian concepts which are taught in Primary School:
1. God
2. Creation
3. Fall
4. People of God
5. Incarnation
6. Gospel

7. Salvation
8. Kingdom of God

We focus on 3 key areas in our teaching:

1. Making sense of the text (understanding what the Bible says).
2. Making connections (could be about other faiths / what children believe themselves / charity work that the school does etc).
3. Understanding the impact (examining the ways that Christians respond).

Impact 

Curriculum leader to collate evidence including analysing how planning matches the evidence in books, learning walks, speaking to pupils about their learning and discussing with colleagues what has gone well as well as any lessons learnt. Our Foundation Governor will monitor and challenge the subject leader
