About this curriculum

We follow the 2024-2029 Plymouth Agreed Syllabus for RE.  We are members of NATRE, the National Association of Teachers of RE, and we follow the RE Today Primary RE Curriculum.

In the Early Years Foundation Stage, RE is taught through key questions such as 'Why is the word God so important to Christians?' and  'Being special: where do we belong?'  These are explored within the Area 'Understanding of the World - Peoples and Communities'.

In Key Stage 1 and 2, the principal religious and non-religious worldviews represented in the UK are explored through key questions such as 'Why is the Torah so important to Jewish people?' and What do religious and non-religious worldviews teach about caring for the earth?'

These key questions are explored through the study of sacred texts, through creative arts, with visiting speakers and visits to places of worship and with lively discussion and debate.

Through this curriculum pupils will leave us at the end of Year 6 informed and knowledgeable about the world in which they live – understanding and respecting their own beliefs as well as the beliefs and values of others.
