Religious Education (RE):

Religious Education is taught in accordance with the Lincolnshire Agreed Syllabus. The teaching of RE promotes our pupils’ ability to understand religion, beliefs, practices, spiritual insights and secular world views and plays an important part in preparing pupils for life in modern Britain. We recognise the increasing importance of RE since globalisation has created greater links and migration between different faiths and cultures. We provide our pupils opportunities to learn about different religions, belief systems, festivals and rituals, which reflect and celebrate our diverse community. Throughout the RE curriculum, pupils are encouraged to explore religions, engage with their knowledge and reflect on their learning and their lives:

• To develop religious literacy, acquiring and developing knowledge and understanding of Christianity and the other principal religions and world views represented in the United Kingdom (UK), through class-based activities, visitors to the School and visits to places of worship.
• To develop an understanding of the influence of the beliefs, values and traditions and individuals, communities, societies and cultures.
• To develop attitudes of respect and tolerance towards other people who hold views and beliefs different from their own.
• To develop the ability to make reasoned and informed judgements about religious issues, with reference to the principal religions and world views represented locally and in the UK.
