RELIGIOUS EDUCATION INTENT STATEMENT -

Religious Education has a significant role for the development of children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. It promotes respect and open-mindedness towards others with different faiths and beliefs and encourages pupils to develop their sense of identity and belonging through self-awareness and reflection.

RE will engage children in an enquiry approach where they can develop an understanding and appreciation for the expression of beliefs, cultural practices and influence of religions in the local and wider global community.

These key aims for religious education are reflected in the two attainment targets -

• Learning about religion and belief

• Learning from religion and belief
