We’re excited to share that as of September, every year group will be learning in line with the new Religious Education Directory, known as the RED. This marks an important and exciting new chapter in how we teach Religious Education. The RED has its own specially designed model curriculum, made up of six branches. Each half-term, we will explore one of these branches in class. Each one focuses on a core theme, helping children to grow in their understanding of key aspects of the Catholic faith, including Revelation, Scripture, life in Christ, and life in the Church.
What makes this new approach so special is that it not only helps pupils learn about their faith in a deeper, more meaningful way, but also invites them to reflect on what it means for their own lives. It helps pupils to see, judge, and act with greater understanding and compassion. We’re really looking forward to bringing this new vision for Religious Education into our classrooms.
To help keep you informed and involved, we send out a newsletter each half-term with updates on what your child is learning, as well as showcasing the wonderful learning happening on our school Facebook page and here, on our class pages.
Branch 1 - Creation and Covenant
Autumn 1 - 2025
During this half-term, children heard the creation story and learned that God made them and considered ways they can look after themselves. To build on this, they learned that God made the world and considered ways in which we can look after the world and care for God’s creation. Children have also learned that they are invited to be part of God’s family.
At home you could read:
God created the world and said, ‘Indeed it is very good’ (Genesis 1:31).
The whole of Creation shows God love for us (Laudato Si’ 84–88)
