Religious Education
Religious Education is taught in accordance with the Lincolnshire Agreed Syllabus. As a Church school, great emphasis is placed upon the teaching of Christianity. However, we recognise that our children are growing up in a multi-cultural society and a number of major world religions are also studied.
Through RE, we aim to:
- develop pupils’ knowledge and understanding of Christianity as well as other principal religions and world views
- focus on concepts as well as content, within the context of enquiry-based learning
- explore authentic religious material, e.g. sacred texts
- reflect diversity in terms of the changing religious landscape of the UK so that they are prepared for life in modern Britain engage and challenge pupils
- reflect pupils’ own experiences and provide a safe space for discussion
- present religious belief as a real, lived phenomenon, not something exotic or belonging to the past
- take into account the increase in the number of people with non-religious beliefs and identities
- provide opportunities for personal reflection and spiritual development
- help to prepare pupils for adult life, enabling them to develop respect and sensitivity for others
