Religious Education (RE)
RE Curriculum aims/intends to:
Our RE curriculum aims/ intends to:
- Use an enquiry-based model well to ensure that children’s critical thinking skills can be developed and increase their motivation to learn.
- Develop and enhance children’s knowledge and understanding of, and have empathy with people and their beliefs, religious or otherwise
- Provide opportunities for children to explore their own Worldview which may or may not include religious belief
- Support our Values based Education ethos and be inclusive for all
- Provide opportunities for children to share their faith and belief with others through formal learning opportunities, memorable experiences, visitors, visits and enrichment activities that take place inside and outside the classroom
- Inform and develop skills with which evaluation of religion and belief can take place
- Celebrate the different religious groups we have as part of our school community
We aim to provide an interesting and engaging curriculum. We plan lessons using the ‘Jigsaw’ scheme of work and supplement this with our own resources. Each unit of work has been carefully matched to ensure that is meets the requirements of the 2026 Wokingham Locally Agreed Syllabus for RE.
We follow a four-step inquiry approach per unit of work, each unit starting with an inquiry question which the children are then encouraged to explore. This helps to ensure depth of learning, accurate subject knowledge and opportunities for the children to reflect.
