Religious Education (RE)
INTENT
At Brookmead School our intent through our RE learning and teaching is to help children to acquire and develop knowledge and understanding of a range of beliefs and religions and to appreciate the way that religious beliefs shape life and behaviour.
IMPLEMENTATION
Through the teaching of our curriculum, learners develop the ability to make reasoned and informed judgements about religious and moral issues which enhances their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
At Brookmead we follow the Buckinghamshire Agreed Syllabus for RE which can be downloaded below. This curriculum provides the opportunity to reflect on our experiences and explore the beliefs, values and attitudes that guide us and others through life by studying the values, practices and ways of life of the principal religions and secular philosophies.
