Our RE Curriculum

Our RE curriculum follows the Birmingham Agreed Syllabus. This breaks down the syllabus and guides the teaching by twenty-four main dispositions which all major faiths consider important. This curriculum is based mostly around the Christian faith with links to all other major faiths ensuring the inclusion of the diverse community of the school. These dispositions are linked to a person’s spiritual and moral character and are used to help depict a human ideal. Religious education is taught across all key stages through, discussion, debate, role play, drama and ‘circle time’ activities. They can also include written activities.

Subject intent

Our RE curriculum offers opportunities in which the deepest values of human life are identified, shared and discussed. Religious traditions constitute a rich treasury of vision, practice and experience reflecting the diverse communities in which we live. With the adoption and delivery of the Birmingham Agreed Syllabus we aim that all of our children will receive a high-quality education in RE, developing individuals who are morally and spiritually well informed and with the confidence to meet the challenges ahead.

Subject Goal

By the end of Key Stage 2 we aim to have developed a sound understanding within children of the diverse community of which they are part; a sense of their own value, belonging and inclusion within that community, and the confidence to become active members within it. We aim to have developed a respectful, curiosity about religious, spiritual and moral beliefs, their own and those of others, the ability to reflect upon these and the confidence to ask questions of themselves and others in relation to these beliefs.
