Through faith, resilience, tolerance and harmony, we want our RE curriculum to build a community where each individual is valued and will thrive. They will be curious about the world around them and open to the differences of culture, opinion, beliefs and values that they are exposed to through our diverse scheme of work. Children will grow in wisdom and knowledge as they develop the life skills associated with effective RE pedagogy.

Effective leadership ensures there is a clear vision for RE across the school and an understanding of how most children will demonstrate their learning within each year group.  Anglican characteristics are central to and embedded in the whole school curriculum and present contrast and comparison with different religions based around key questions.

We use the Southwark Diocesan Board of Education RE Syllabus, supplemented with other resources created overtime, to ensure that we cover all major religions and children are also encouraged to celebrate their unique identities throughout the year – such as celebrating a particular religious festival when it occurs on the calendar. 

Teachers make use of quality artefacts and artistic resources to assist children in their learning. Enhancement is provided through strong links with our parish church, visits to relevant places, having experts visit the school and relating the topic of study to world current affairs when suitable. Quality-first teaching, stemming from reflective planning, underpins our intentions within the teaching of RE.  The intentional use of dialogue, debate and diversity sits at the centre of our RE curriculum.
