Intent

“Religious education in a Church school should enable every child to flourish and to live life in all its fullness. (Church of England Statement of Entitlement 2019). It will help educate for dignity and respect, encouraging all to live well together. The teaching of Religious Education is a legal requirement and is also a necessary part of a ‘broad and balanced curriculum.’

The aims of Religious Education

• Know about and understand Christianity as a diverse global living faith through the exploration of core beliefs, using an approach that critically engages with Biblical text;

• Gain knowledge and understanding of a range of religions and worldviews, appreciating diversity, continuity and change within the religions and worldviews being studied;

• Engage with challenging questions of meaning and purpose raised by human existence and experience;

• Recognise the concept of religion and its continuing influence on Britain’s cultural heritage and in the lives of individuals and societies in different times, cultures and places;

• Explore their own religious, spiritual and philosophical ways living, believing and thinking.

• Give a theologically informed and thoughtful account of Christianity as a living and diverse faith;

• Show an informed and respectful attitude to religions and non-religious worldviews in their search for God and meaning;

• Engage in meaningful and informed dialogue with those of other faiths and none;

• Reflect critically and responsibly on their own spiritual, philosophical and ethical worldviews through enquiry based learning

Our Religious Education curriculum will be enhanced through links with the local faith community and St Benedict’s Church, Glinton.
