Intent STATEMENT

At Hampton Wick Infant and Nursery School, we believe that it is important to develop children’s ability to enter imaginatively into the experiences, beliefs and the desires of others. Religious Education develops positive attitudes of respect towards other people who hold views and beliefs different from their own, and towards a society of diverse religions and beliefs. It supports pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and enables children to show respect, care and concern towards themselves and others. 

At Hampton Wick Infant and Nursery School, we aim to foster children’s feelings of awe, wonder, delight, joy and mystery and to extend their natural curiosity. We aim to ensure that all children achieve in their learning, and to provide opportunities to develop initiative, independence and the children’s ability to carry out their own investigations, as appropriate to their age. Learning activities should also include opportunities for analysis, interpretation, evaluation and reflection.

We follow the SACRE agreed RE syllabus for Richmond upon Thames.
