"We may have different religions,

different languages, different coloured skin,

but we all belong to one human race."

Kofi Annan

INTENT

At Manor Primary school, we will allow our children to develop their knowledge and understanding of the major world faiths, and address fundamental questions concerning life. 

Children reflect on what it means to have a faith and to develop their own spiritual knowledge and understanding.

We help the children to learn from religions as well as about religions in order to create a wider tolerance and understanding of all people.

IMPLEMENTATION

The aims of the Religious Education curriculum will be achieved by:

• developing an awareness of spiritual and moral issues arising in their lives
• developing an understanding of religious traditions, and an appreciation of cultural differences in the UK today.
• developing their investigative and research skills, in order to hold reasoned opinions on religious issues;
• having respect for other people’s views, and hence to celebrate diversity in society.

As part of the Religious Education curriculum we also have numerous collective worship assemblies delivered by local religious people including a local Vicar. This also involves school visits to the local Church to celebrate major religious festivals.

IMPACT
We will measure impact of this through:

• Monitoring of the curriculum
• Book/planning scrutinies
• Learning walks
• End of unit assessments
• End of year assessments
