Preparing for Life’s Big Adventures

Religious Education

As a Church of England school, we follow the Understanding Christianity approach to teach RE, which has been adapted and adopted by all Enhance Academy Trust schools. Our approach allows pupils to explore Christian beliefs and practices in depth, alongside learning about other world religions and worldviews. Our RE curriculum encourages curiosity, reflection and respect, helping pupils develop understanding, empathy and a strong sense of values.

RE is taught through engaging, enquiry-based lessons that encourage discussion, reflection and critical thinking. Pupils explore key biblical concepts such as creation, incarnation, salvation and the kingdom of God, using rich texts, artefacts, stories and visits to places of worship. Teaching includes opportunities for pupils to ask questions, compare beliefs, and consider how faith influences everyday life.
