RE Curriculum
At Reculver C of E Primary our aspiration is that every child will be a: successful learner, confident individual, responsible citizen and an effective contributor to society and at work.
Religious Education makes a major contribution to the spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development of pupils by helping them to acquire the knowledge and understanding of Christianity and the other major religions represented in Britain. It also helps them to develop their own beliefs and values. Links with our Christian Vision and Values, and support for children’s SMSC development are intrinsic to our RE curriculum and have a significant impact on learners. We provide a wide range of opportunities for pupils to understand and to make links between the beliefs, practices and value systems of the range of faiths and world views studied, fostering respect for them.
Our broad, balanced, challenging and coherent curriculum has a clear, embedded progression of knowledge and skills which has been informed by the Kent Agreed Syllabus, Understanding Christianity and the World Faith plans, provided by the Diocese and RE Today.
Our high expectations and progressive curriculum supports children with their systematic enquiry into significant human questions which religion and worldviews address, so that they can develop the understanding and skills needed to appreciate and appraise varied responses to these questions, as well as developing responses of their own. Through engaging in meaningful, informed and academic dialogue pupils develop their *religious literacy.
*Religious Literacy: Helping children and young people hold balanced and well-informed conversations about religion and belief.
