RE Lead: Mrs Dickens and Mrs Reay

What does RE look like in our ACORN curriculum – INTENT & IMPLEMENTATION 

A: We learn about religious events and how they have formed today’s culture.  

C: We develop our sense of identity by learning how RE has shaped today’s society.    

O: We read about changes over time and learn about key religious concepts through our sticky vocabulary which we can then communicate in writing and orally. 

R: We understand how relationships have changed over time, including our economy, class, politics, and race.   

N: We recognise how our health has changed over time by learning about past events and attitudes. We build aspirations by learning about religious figures and how they have influenced us. We look at how individuals have navigated through difficult times and influenced the future.  

IMPACT

By the time our pupils leave Green Oaks, using a wide range of teaching strategies, they will have developed their wider subject knowledge of faiths. They will be developing their sense of their own beliefs and values, alongside showing respect and empathy for the views and beliefs of others. 

 

Parental Right to Withdraw from Religious Education (RE)

We respect the rights of parents and carers regarding their child’s education. Under current legislation, parents and carers have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of Religious Education (RE) lessons. This includes activities related to Religious Education that do not form part of the statutory National Curriculum.

If you wish to exercise this right, we ask that you inform the school in writing, detailing whether you are withdrawing your child from all or specific parts of the RE curriculum. We are happy to discuss any concerns you may have and provide further information to help you make an informed decision.
