Religious Education
The Cumbrian Agreed Syllabus Purpose of Study
RE is primarily about enabling pupils to make academically informed judgements about matters of religion and belief which shape the local and global landscape. High-quality RE is about developing pupils’ religious literacy. In the context of this syllabus, being religiously literate means that pupils will have the ability to hold balanced and well-informed conversations about religious and non-religious worldviews. Pupils will be able to make sense of religion and worldviews around them and begin to understand the complex world in which they live. They will be encouraged to be curious and enabled to study the wisdom and beauty of religions and worldviews and to see that religion isn’t fixed, it is living, dynamic, changing, evolving throughout the world. Pupils will be able to talk about their personal worldview.
Our Religious Education Curriculum
At St Bees Village School, we aim to enable children to reach their full potential through providing challenging experiences in an environment where children are encouraged to respect themselves and others as a valued member of a global society. We aim to grow inquisitive learners who adopt an enquiring approach to religions and world views. We use the RE Today Scheme of Work to support the teaching of RE.
