Religious Education

Religious Education (RE) is understanding beliefs across the world

Vision for RE (Intent)

Religious Education plays an important role in preparing pupils for adult life. It helps children and young people become successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.

We also provide a range of opportunities for all pupils to understand and make links between the beliefs, practices and value systems of Christianity alongside a range of major world religions. We will provide opportunities in RE to develop our pupil’s understanding and appreciation of diversity within different cultures, beliefs and values. Pupils will have opportunities to encounter local faith communities in school and through visits to local places of worship to promote community cohesion.

We will use a variety of teaching methods including art, music, discussion, the development of thinking skills, drama, the use of artefacts, pictures, stories, and the use of periods of stillness and reflection to develop high quality learning experiences.

The aims for implementation of our curriculum for RE at St. George’s

At St. Georges we have implemented the Manchester Diocesan syllabus as the chosen approach due to the reflection and representation of our community in Oldham.

How is RE taught and what does it look like at St. George’s? (Implementation)

What will my child leave St. George’s knowing, understanding and appreciating in RE? (Impact)

Pupils will acquire the knowledge, skills and understanding to discern and value truth and goodness, strengthening their capacity for making moral judgements and for evaluating different types of commitment to make positive and healthy choices. At St George’s, as a Church of England School, we enable our pupils to learn about and understand how Christianity has shaped the lives of people worldwide as a living faith and as a religion that has had significant impact on British culture and heritage. Alongside learning about other faiths and cultures around the world. Our pupils will show an informed and respectful attitude to religion and world views and be able to engage in meaningful, respectful and informed dialogue with those of other faiths and none within our society.
