RE will support pupils’ religious literacy. In our curriculum, being religiously literate means that pupils will have the ability to hold balanced and well-informed conversations about religion and worldviews. Our children will be able to make sense of religion and worldviews around them and begin to understand the complex world in which they live. Our curriculum is primarily about enabling pupils to become free thinking, critical participants of public discourse, who can make academically informed judgements about important matters of religion and belief, which shape the global landscape.
Our RE Curriculum uses substantive concepts (our ‘Big Ideas’) as the basis for supporting pupils to form a schema (a conceptual system for understanding knowledge). Children’s schema is strengthened through knowledge, and connections deepen through tasks. Knowledge is sequenced and mapped in a coherent format so that pupils make meaningful connections.

Teachers plan from our school’s medium term plans, which is guided by the Agreed Norfolk Syllabus and supported by Discovery RE. These plans include core questions that are rooted in each disciplinary approach: Philosophy, Theology and Sociology. These questions are balanced across the approaches. Each question is framed within an enquiry in order to ensure coverage of the main belief systems in Religious thought. Our Essential Learning Objectives for RE are:
Know about and understand a range of religions and worldviews.
Express ideas and insights about the nature, significance and impact of religions and worldviews.
Gain and deploy the skills needed to engage seriously with religions and worldviews.
To reflect on their own standing in the world and developing their personal beliefs.
To respect all world views whilst engaging critically.
