Rattlesden Primary School is a Church of England School. We are an inclusive school, where everyone has a valuable contribution to make to our school community and recognise that for many of our families faith is important, whilst others may have none.
Intent
At Rattlesden CofE School, RE is a core subject and it permeates our school ethos. It plays an important role in children’s moral, social, cultural and spiritual growth, promoting open-mindedness and tolerance, as well as an understanding of ourselves and other people on a local and global scale. We aim to develop strong religious and worldview literacy through a blend of theology, human and social science and philosophy.
Implementation
RE is taught weekly from the Emmanuel Project scheme of work. 6 units are taught in a specific order across the year, with 2 overarching enquiry questions. Due to mixed classes, RE is taught on a 3 year rolling programme in EYFS/KS1, and a 4 year rolling programme in KS2. Across their time in school, children will learn about and explore other faiths including Judaism, Sikhism, Buddhism Islam and Humanism.
Each unit follows an enquiry based cycle (Engage, Enquire, Explore, Evaluate & Express), with some key questions to explore and/or answer within a lesson. Lessons will be hands-on, with lots of opportunities for discussion, role play and creative work. We may ask visitors (in person or virtual) to help us teach units, to enhance children’s understanding.
We sometimes plan in whole-school/Key-Stage days, organised and delivered by outside organisations e.g. Kagera Day.
As a Church of England school, we also celebrate and learn about key Christian festivals throughout the year, linked with the local church e.g. Christmas, Easter, Harvest, Pentecost. We will endeavour to ensure at least one visitor to school or trip each year is an encounter with a different religion or world view.
