RE at Manadon Vale Primary School

Rights Respecting Schools Award

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.

Miss Bryssau, Mrs Gilbride and Mrs Scott had the pleasure of taking 10 Parliament Members to London for an unforgettable overnight visit 🇬🇧 Thanks to our three very generous councillors and the PTFA, the trip was fully funded — something we are incredibly grateful for. During our time in London, we experienced so much. We took in the views on the London Eye, watched the amazing The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre, enjoyed a meal at the Hard Rock Cafe, saw Buckingham Palace, and had the opportunity to watch the Houses of Parliament and the House of Commons in action. We were also lucky enough to be joined by our local MP, which made the experience even more special. The children were an absolute credit to the school and represented Manadon brilliantly throughout. We are so proud of them 🌟 🇬🇧🏙️ Councillor Tess Blight - Eggbuckland Ward Cllr Chris Wood - Eggbuckland Ward Cllrs Chip Tofan and Chris Wood Working for Eggbuckland Fred Thomas MP Manadon Vale PTFA

We are so excited to introduce our very own MVPS Micro Forest! 🌱 After lots of background work from Mrs Gilbride and SocieTree, we welcomed our EYFS, Year 1 and Year 2 children, alongside their parents and carers, for a wonderful day of planting. Thank you also to Manadon Vale PTFA for your generous donation towards the structural wall. Together, we have created a special outdoor space that will support learning, exploration and a love of nature for years to come🌷🌲🌻 We can’t wait to watch our micro forest grow and flourish, and to see the many ways our children will enjoy learning within it.
