Our Reginald Mitchell children will be prepared and equipped for life, learning to be accepting and inclusive within the diverse communities we live in. Through a broad and balanced curriculum, they will develop the values of empathy, tolerance, and mutual respect—essential qualities for becoming thoughtful and respectful citizens in today’s Britain. We place a strong emphasis on fostering religious literacy, helping children to understand and appreciate a wide range of beliefs, traditions, and cultures. This not only deepens their knowledge but also encourages open-mindedness and curiosity about the world around them. By promoting dialogue, reflection, and understanding, we aim to nurture a generation that celebrates diversity and contributes positively to society.
Our R.E curriculum aims to develop children’s life long learning skills, ensuring they build awareness, understanding and knowledge that will enable them to develop their own beliefs and gain a rounded awareness of the beliefs of others.
The document below shows a planned teaching sequence that a unit of RE lessons may follow in order to promote the sequential and progressive development of knowledge which can be securely demonstrated by our pupils.
The document below identifies the key elements which we believe are important to incorporate into our RE lessons in order for them to build on previously taught knowledge and also to deepen and secure key concepts.
To ensure children are taught and remember the appropriate knowledge and skills relating to RE, we have adopted the SACRE documents. These units establish the foundation from which we plan opportunities to develop the skills and knowledge being taught across all subject areas and hopes to contribute to the development of key concepts and themes in a deep and connected way.
Our R.E curriculum will ensure all children are not only taught subject specific vocabulary but also provide opportunities for them to use such language within the correct context with confidence and fluency.
