At our school, Religious Education aims to inspire curiosity, respect and understanding. Following the Leicestershire Agreed Syllabus, we teach children about a range of religions and worldviews so they can recognise diversity, challenge prejudice and develop the knowledge they need to take part confidently in modern British life. RE also supports our wider British Values curriculum by helping pupils understand different beliefs, practise respectful dialogue and appreciate the role of faith and non-faith perspectives in society.

Our RE curriculum is currently planned using the units and key questions from the Leicestershire Syllabus. Across each key stage, pupils learn about Christianity and other major world faiths, as well as non-religious worldviews such as Humanism. Lessons build on prior learning and include a range of engaging approaches: exploring artefacts, storytelling, discussion, drama and we often welcome visitors from different faith communities to enrich learning.

We assess pupils’ understanding at the end of each unit to ensure they are making progress in their knowledge, skills and ability to reflect on religious and ethical questions. RE is monitored as part of our regular curriculum review and findings contribute to ongoing curriculum development and ensure that our RE provision remains broad, balanced and in line with statutory requirements.
