Intent
Religious Education (RE) is a statutory subject that is taught for an hour a week across all year groups. At Morven Park Primary School we value children of all faiths and children of none equally. We celebrate this diversity through our broad and balanced RE curriculum. In September 2021 we adopted the Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education, “RE for All” 2021-2026. Our school uses the Programs of Study within the new syllabus to plan creative work that meets the expected outcomes.
Implementation
Through the use of the RE Syllabus we are strive to enable our pupils to gain insight and knowledge to equip them as responsible members of society. The Syllabus we follow encourages pupils to discover more about religion and world views on a range of topics. They are encouraged to express ideas and insights into key questions which face all human beings as we journey through life. They will take part in lessons, visits and trips (including trips to places of worship).
Impact
The three-fold aims of RE in Nottinghamshire will ensure that our pupils:
Know and understand a range of religions and world views which will allow them to recognize the diversity which exists in our society.
Can express ideas and insights about the nature, significance and the impact of religions and world views as they develop their own personal views on a range of issues.
Develop and use skills which will assist them to engage seriously with religions and world views.
RE will contribute to a whole range of school priorities. Their study will promote spiritual, cultural, social and moral development, as well as enabling them to consider British Values such as tolerance and respect for others who hold different world views.
