At Sidney Stringer Primary we teach Religious Education through a well-ordered, progressive and conscientious curriculum with an enquiry-based approach to teaching and learning. Through the enquiry based approach children not only learn knowledge but crucially develop an understanding of the world of religion and how beliefs impact on daily lives. We follow the Local Agreed Syllabus. 

Our belief is that, using an enquiry-based model well, children’s critical thinking skills can be developed, their motivation to learn increased, and their knowledge and understanding of, and empathy with people and their beliefs, religious or otherwise, will be enhanced. This approach takes very seriously the philosophy that children are free to make their own choices and decisions concerning religion and belief. RE does not try to persuade but rather to inform and develop the skills with which evaluation can take place.
