RE
At Newker Primary School we aim to inspire our children to develop a deepening knowledge and understanding about a range of religious and non-religious world views.
The children will:
- Describe and explain religious beliefs and the ways different beliefs are expressed.
- Know and understand how these beliefs impact individuals, communities and societies.
- Describe and explain some sources of authority and teachings by studying different religions and world views.
- Gain skills that enable them to question their learning and think critically about the material they are studying.
- Have opportunities for personal reflection and spiritual development.
- Study religious diversity within Chester le Street, County Durham and their wider local area.
-
Understand not everyone has the same beliefs or views and so be respectful of others.
-
Be able to challenge prejudice discrimination and racism.
We use the Durham Agreed Syllabus which was revised in 2020 for the basis of our Curriculum. The syllabus encourages enquiry-based learning and provides a developmental approach to RE which is coherent and systematic. Continuity and progression is achieved by building on the knowledge, understanding and skills that pupils gain across and between key stages. Teachers have some flexibility to move questions that fit in with other areas of the curriculum providing the sequential progression is not affected.
Each unit and each lesson within the unit is driven by a key question which is a basis for enquiry-based learning where children are provided opportunities to engage explore and evaluate their learning.
Although it is a legal requirement for the school to provide RE to all pupils, families may wish to withdraw their child from RE lessons.
According to the Education Act 1996 and the School Standards and Framework Act 1988 parents have the right to withdraw their children from all or part of Religious Education lessons. Parents who choose to withdraw their children from RE lessons should meet and discuss this directly with the Head teacher.
