Religious Education

We want our children to leave Chapel-en-le-Frith Primary School with the confidence to be able to communicate effectively, feel they are listened to and get their meaning across in a variety of situations both calmly and politely, not least, in the world of employment when they are older.

Our INTENT for RE is to use a range of strategies to allow children to think and consider the big questions that the RE curriculum brings. We aim to ensure that all thinking and reflection time is purposeful and leads to deeper learning. To ensure that this happens, we are mindful of thinking and reflection when planning units of work that consider big questions.

Our primary school curriculum works with the SACRE agreed syllabus for Derbyshire, Understanding Christianity and RE today. It aims to challenge children to learn about a range of religions and non-religious worldviews whilst also considering the big questions of life. At our school, we want to ensure that our children go out into the world with the knowledge and skills to understand the beliefs of others and live in today’s diverse and ever-changing world. Our curriculum plans aim to give our children the opportunities to learn about religion and non-religious worldviews in a variety of ways for example: through art, music and drama as well as through discussion and more formal writing opportunities.
