Religious Education

Intent:

At Camps Hill, our intent is to foster acceptance, respect and understanding by helping children recognise the similarities and differences between a wide range of religions and worldviews. We aim to develop pupils who can appreciate the diversity of beliefs within our community and the wider world, and who are able to reflect on their own ideas and values.

Our RE curriculum is built around key enquiry questions that promote curiosity, investigation and thoughtful discussion. These questions guide learning and encourage children to explore meaning, beliefs, practices and ways of living across different faiths and traditions.

Teaching and learning in RE are enhanced through the use of religious artefacts, children’s own experiences and strong links with the local community. These first‑hand encounters make learning meaningful, relevant and memorable. Lessons are carefully planned to provide opportunities for pupils to engage, investigate, evaluate and express their thinking, enabling them to build secure knowledge and deepen their understanding.

Our aim is for all pupils to leave Camps Hill with a respectful curiosity about different religions and worldviews, the ability to think critically about belief, and a well‑developed sense of their place in a diverse society.

 

Implementation:

  • Across the Trust, Discovery RE is being embedded as the chosen RE curriculum. This has been introduced in September 2021. This is based upon the 2014 National Curriculum. 
  • In the Early Years the curriculum is planned using the Discovery RE material linked with Understanding the World and Personal and Social development.
  • In KS1 and KS2 the curriculum is planned using the Discovery RE curriculum and is supported by visits to the school and within the local area.
  • In addition to RE lessons the children participate in RE assemblies linked to celebrations from a range of religions. These are linked to faiths from our community to ensure understanding and acceptance at a local level. 
  • Children are encouraged to understand and acknowledge a range of religious celebration and festivals in class and as whole school activities. 

How we measure impact:

Annually, the children are assessed against the age-related expectations for knowledge, understanding and skills and this is tracked in our assessment system. A child will be recorded as working towards, at or exceeding these expectations.
