Intent

Our intent is to provide all pupils with a broad, balanced, and inclusive religious education that develops their understanding of the diverse beliefs and worldviews present in our society. As a non-faith school, we do not promote any single religion; instead, we enable children to explore a range of religions and non-religious perspectives in an objective, respectful, and engaging way.

Our RE curriculum is designed to develop pupils’ knowledge and understanding of key beliefs, practices, and traditions, while also encouraging them to reflect on their own ideas and experiences. By the end of Year 6, pupils will have encountered a variety of religions and worldviews, allowing them to make connections, recognise similarities and differences, and develop a deeper understanding of how beliefs influence people’s lives. A central aim of RE is to foster respect, tolerance, and empathy. Pupils are encouraged to ask questions, think critically, and engage in meaningful discussions about challenging or sensitive issues. We create a safe and supportive environment where children feel confident to express their views and consider those of others without judgement.

Through RE, pupils develop important skills such as critical thinking, reflection, and respectful dialogue. The subject makes a significant contribution to pupils’ personal development, preparing them to live in a diverse society as informed, open-minded, and respectful individuals who value different beliefs and challenge discrimination.
