Intent
As a Church of England school (VA), we work to provide Religious Education (RE) as a non-confessional, academic subject. The children are provided with a high-quality religious education, which reflects the Church of England Statement of Entitlement; meeting statutory obligations to ensure every child is educated to have deep respect and integrity of other religions and worldviews, gaining an insight into the world in which we live. The teaching of RE is vital for children to make connections between their own beliefs and values, and as a Church school the teaching of Christianity is central to all we teach; focusing on the teachings of Jesus and the Church.
Children will know and understand about Christianity as a living world faith, having time to explore the core theological concepts as well as considering the impact and connection that Christianity has on people’s lives worldwide. They will develop their knowledge and understanding of other major world religions and world views/beliefs, and non-faith/beliefs, understanding their impact on society. We intend that children will be able to critically reflect on their own spiritual and philosophical opinions and beliefs in a safe space.
Our curriculum embraces the community in which it is situated, recognising the local places of worship, including the church, mosque, cathedral and temple. As a school community we will promote the equality and understanding of the British Values and ensure children are prepared for life in modern Britain. It is important that RE is seen as an enjoyable subject to participate in, where children can have plentiful opportunities to be creative as they explore a range of religions and worldviews.
Implementation
As a VA C/E school we follow, ‘The Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education in Surrey Schools 2023-2028’(SACRE approved). RE is taught according to the C/E statutory entitlement, Christianity being offered 50% of the RE curriculum time. Training and opportunities to develop subject knowledge, skills and understanding will be ongoing in order to support curriculum development to ensure a progressive, robust curriculum is delivered with high standards aimed for at all times. Our children will:
