Religious Education and World Views
Curriculum Showcase
Year 5 pupils thoroughly enjoyed their RE Inspired workshop in the church hall, which supported their current RE unit.
The session explored the question: “What did Jesus do to save human beings?” and encouraged pupils to reflect on their own worldviews and how these influence the decisions we make.
The workshop began with a recap of the key events of Holy Week, including the Last Supper. Pupils then worked in small groups, engaging in discussions and activities that helped them explore Christian beliefs while considering different perspectives. This provided a valuable opportunity to develop their Oracy skills, as they expressed their ideas, listened to others, and built on different viewpoints. Through these discussions, they reflected on their own values and how beliefs shape the choices people make in their daily lives.
It was a thought-provoking and engaging session that not only deepened their understanding of faith but also strengthened their ability to articulate and justify their opinions with confidence.
It is our intent for the Religious Education element of our school curriculum to engage, inspire, challenge and encourage pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to answer challenging questions. Religious Education contributes significantly to the Christian character of the school and enables pupils to ask deep and often searching questions about their own faiths and beliefs, and the beliefs, faiths and opinions of others regarding pertinent contemporary moral issues. Pupils will be able to deepen their understanding of God as encountered and taught by Christians. The teaching of RE makes links between the beliefs, practices and value systems of a range of faiths and world-views studied. The RE curriculum will help to develop responsibility and respect for all aspects of diversity, whether it be social, cultural and religious, and prepare pupils well for life in modern Britain
