Religious Education

Back

Our faith underpins everything we do - this is reflected in our Mission Statement:

'We follow Jesus as we learn, play and pray together.'

We offer a vibrant programme of study based on the 'Come and See' RE scheme. This covers the four principal Areas of Study from the Religious Education Curriculum Directory - Revelation, The Church, Celebration and Life in Christ:  

Four Areas of Learning in Religious Education

Key sources include the Bible, Catechism of the Catholic Church, the liturgy, and resources and support materials from CAFOD and other RE schemes. These are used to develop the children’s understanding and personal experience of faith and spirituality. Sources are detailed in each year group’s medium term and weekly plans. All resources, including the Prayer Garden, the amphitheatre, and the Wednesday Word pamphlets, are used creatively in ways which enhance and inspire the children’s learning.

All year groups study three other world faiths during the course of an academic year. Judaism is focused on during the Autumn term, Islam in the Spring term and Sikhism is explored in the Summer term. Opportunities to learn about other faiths are seized where appropriate, as we seek to promote a wider understanding of our world.
