Intent, Implementation and Impact
Intent
Stranton Primary School aims to provide a challenging and enriching Religious Education curriculum, which enables children to explore the diverse world within which they live and to develop respect for the rights of others to hold different beliefs, values and ideas. The RE curriculum will give children an informed knowledge and understanding of religious and secular beliefs and practices and support them in developing an aptitude for dialogue so that they can participate, as they grow, within their local community and wider society.
Implementation
Religious Education is taught weekly as a discrete subject. However, we recognise that this subject strongly contributes to other areas of the curriculum such as SMSC, British Values, our own school values and ethos and the personal development of our pupils, and as such, take every opportunity to make connections and share knowledge and understanding through these different aspects of school life.
Stranton Primary School follows the Hartlepool Agreed Syllabus. This encourages pupils to ask challenging questions about meaning and purpose in life, beliefs about God, ultimate reality, issue of right and wrong and what it means to be human. As they progress through school they deepen their knowledge and understanding of a range of religious and non-religious worldviews and begin to understand the complexity, diversity and plural nature of religious and non-religious worldviews. Religious Education in Stranton plays a key part in developing critical thinking and personal reflection. The syllabus recognises the place of Christianity and the other principle religions in the UK and includes non-religious world views. It is not designed to promote a particular religion or religious belief on pupils but does makes a significant contribution to the active promotion of mutual respect.
Impact
Our children will have substantive knowledge of religion, which they can recall. They will know ‘how to learn’ about religion and they will build an awareness of their own presuppositions and values. Our learners will be able to confidently talk about different religious and secular beliefs that they have encountered within the local community and in the wider society of the UK. Children will have inquisitive minds and a respect, tolerance and understanding for all those around them, including themselves, allowing them to become valued citizens who contribute to society.
