Religious Education
Curriculum Intent statement for Religious Education
What do we want children to be able to learn?
At Weddington Primary School, we believe that it is vital for all our pupils to learn from and about religion, so that they can understand and respect the world around them. Through Religious Education, pupils develop their knowledge of the world faiths, and their understanding and awareness of the beliefs, values and traditions of other individuals, societies, communities and cultures. We encourage our pupils to ask questions about the world and to reflect on their own beliefs, values and experiences. Our Religious Education curriculum is enhanced further with trips to places of worship in our local area.
What do we want children to be able to do?
Children will be able to explore moral values and understanding and share these within a respectful classroom environment. They will be able to make comparisons across different faiths including their own if they have one. We cover all the main religions and focus in detail on Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Humanism. All of the major religious festivals are taught through assemblies or through the units of work. Children will be able to use subject specific vocabulary correctly when discussing or writing about the different faiths.
Through this subject, how will the children explore the Pathway of Possibilities to visit The Seven Wonders Of Weddy?
