Religious Education
Religious Education at Worle Village Primary
Religious Education has a significant role for the development of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. It promotes respect and open-mindedness towards others with different faiths and beliefs and encourages pupils to develop their sense of identity and belonging through self-awareness and reflection. The principle aim of RE is to engage pupils in an enquiry approach where they can develop an understanding and appreciation for the expression of beliefs, cultural practices and influence of principle religions and worldviews in the local, national and wider global community. Using the six themes of the ‘Big Ideas’ for RE by B Wintersgill this will be consistent across the school. 1, Continuity, Change and Diversity, 2, Words and Beyond, 3, A Good Life, 4, Making Sense of Life’s Experiences, 5, Influence and Power and 6, The Big Picture.
