Religious Education Curriculum Aims

At Sedgeberrow First School, our RE curriculum is designed to help pupils:

We follow the Locally Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education.

We follow the Statement of Entitlement for Church of England Schools (Implementation for September 2026)

We ensure that the minimum time for RE teaching is at least 5% of the timetable for all classes.  

1. Make Sense of Beliefs

Pupils will:

• Identify, describe, and explain religious and non-religious beliefs using appropriate vocabulary.
• Understand how beliefs are interpreted differently by individuals and communities.
• Explore sources of authority (texts, teachings, traditions, leaders) and develop skills of interpretation.

2. Understand Impact and Significance

Pupils will:

• Examine how people express beliefs in diverse ways.
• Recognise how beliefs influence actions in daily life, communities, and the wider world.
• Appreciate the significance of different ways of life and expressions of meaning.

3. Make Connections and Reflect

Pupils will:

• Reflect thoughtfully and creatively on key concepts and questions.
• Challenge and be challenged by the ideas studied, articulating their own beliefs and values.
• Connect ideas studied to their own understanding of the world, expressing personal reflections with clarity.
