Religious Education Curriculum Statement
Intent
At Biddick Hall infant and Nursery school each of our individual Religious Education modules are planned and delivered in line with the South Tyneside Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education. The intention of our RE curriculum is to engage, inspire, encourage and challenge our pupils to think critically. Throughout a child’s time at our school they will explore a number of different religious beliefs, traditions and values.
Our approach to Religious Education is based around three key elements. Knowledge and understanding, critical thinking and personal reflection. We believe the teaching of RE is a crucial part in allowing children to become resilient and accepting members of society who are inquisitive and mindful learners. We aim to equip each child with the knowledge and understanding they need to answer challenging questions. Each module also provides an opportunity for personal reflection, encouraging each child to reflect upon their own personal beliefs, ideas, feelings, traditions and values whilst maintaining a mutual respect and tolerance for the diverse personal beliefs and faiths of others, a fundamental British value.
